T'es beau
2026 · 2m
Directed by Matias de Sa Moreira, Gaël Jacquemin
Marc presents his sublime partner Julie to his family for the first time; his admiration for her beauty makes him forget the essential — she also has a brain, and she fully intends to remind him.

A two-minute rom-com about a guy learning his girlfriend isn't a decorative object—it's the kind of premise that *should* feel like afterschool-special territory, but the French title and the fact that it actually *works* makes me suspicious I'm missing something deliberately subversive underneath.
The formal elegance here is in restraint: a short that understands the comedic architecture of a single revelation, structured with the precision of a well-timed joke that respects both romance and intelligence as equal values.
What clinches this is likely a single performance beat—probably Julie's expression or a line read—where the film pivots from Marc's fantasy of her to her actual presence, and suddenly you're watching two people instead of one person and an ornament; that's the choice that transforms a cute premise into something true.
