It's visually powerful, in no sequence straight and a magnificent acting by Kilian Hermann. His performance is thanksfully free of cliches of the drug-theme and there is no sappy rationalizing to explain Fred's condition (childhood, mobbing, love-trouble or other). It happens. Kilian Hermann is mysterious and truthful on the thin line between today and the future that would come, he's the mirror image of the "respectable citizens" and the "freaks and scum" (when he meets himself in the bathroom) and he plays Fred believable in a nightmare, that takes him "welcome" to another real world. When he begins to hallucinate, you will never look at a correct banker the same way again either.

A really truthful episode-drama by older directors like Lautner and many young talents, against cliches about cigarets, alcohol, cannabis... and the stars: the brave Claude Jade as a secretful woman with alcoholic problems, the nice Chiara Mastroianni as a young mother between son and dealer and Yannick Soulier in prison, "clean since 24 days".
