A Pacific Touch

It's a story of love and wallpaper. Alexei is a well-balanced young man, but ever since he bought wallpaper to decorate his apartment, he's been isolating himself... A veritable object of desire, the wallpaper with which he covers his interior obsesses him to the point of literally cutting him off from the rest of the world. Alone, as if lost in the middle of the ocean, he develops a strange passion for it that gradually consumes him.

Directed by Antoine du Jeu, A Pacific Touch leans on a strong ensemble — Thomas Ducasse, Annabelle Martella, Pablo Dury — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 2024.
