Tones: contemplative, tender
Lou and her sister Aude both fall for the same man in a nightclub.

The scouts
Two sisters, same guy, nightclub—it's basically every romance cliché compressed into 120 seconds, which means Suchod either found something genuinely weird in the premise or buried it under tenderness; I'm betting he buried it.
D'Amour positions itself in the lineage of intimate European relationship cinema—the Dardenne brothers' economy of gesture—and the 2-minute constraint forces a formal discipline that either yields real precision or reads as incomplete.
In a 2-minute piece about shared desire, everything hinges on whether Suchod chose to let the sisters' connection speak louder than the man between them, and if he did, it's the editing or a single look that carries that entire emotional inversion.
