“More an observer than a partaker of life, affable Aymeric looks at the world through the lens of his hand-me-down Canon camera. After bumbling through his youth and a brief stint behind bars, Aymeric runs into Florence, a former supermarket coworker who happens to be six months pregnant. He blithely stumbles into a love affair with her and is at her side when baby Jim enters the world. As they raise the boy together over the next seven years, Jim is the center of Aymeric’s life… until the boy’s biological father suddenly reappears. Peppered with stunning negative photographic images, this powerful film from the Larrieu brothers is as emotionally understated as it is visually lush. Graced with masterfully-crafted performances from the entire cast, it is a searing look at the very nature of fatherhood, as it tracks 27 years in the life of an earnest, kind-hearted man and the pivotal relationship that shapes his journey” ….
