Of all the qualities of adulthood, one line from the torch-poem ‘If’ by Rudyard Kipling permeates the second feature by French actress-turned-auteur, Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet. Anchored by a committed performance from the stalwart Léa Drucker, the film’s deceptively breezy tone is held down by the gravity of her mature grace.
