L'accord parfait
Written and directed by Stéphanie Pertuiset and Fanny Tondre
Synopsis
On the shores of Lake Geneva, there is a small village where you can change countries simply by stepping over a sidewalk. A village split in two by a river that marks the official border: France on the left, Switzerland on the right. In Saint-Gingolph, the border is neither spectacular nor violent. It is ordinary, part of everyday life. It seeps into trash collection, school calendars, currency, mobile phone plans, and consumer habits. The residents have learned to live with it, to work around it, and sometimes even to play with it. Here, the border becomes a tool for social improvisation — at times a constraint, at times an opportunity.
The film turns this micro-territory into a contemporary European fable. Observed with humor and humanity, it questions how an imaginary line shapes our lives, our sense of belonging, and our freedoms.
