It's a pretty enough drift through melancholy, sure, but 'young spirit wanders through forgotten places' is basically the entire experimental playbook from the last decade—Margot will love the restraint, I'll be wondering what rule it's actually breaking.
Douet's commitment to formal silence and negative space—the decision to let memory live in what's *not* shown rather than narrated—places this squarely in a lineage of contemplative cinema that understands duration as material, not obstacle.
The suspension of time works because of one choice: the refusal to cut away from the liminal spaces themselves, letting the camera breathe where a lesser film would panic and insert music or movement to fill the void.
