About Just a Sigh
In the short break between performances in Calais, stage actress Alix makes a quick escape to Paris. On the train she meets a mysterious English stranger and, for the most fleeting of afternoons, imagines what the future could hold down a different road.
Directed by Jérôme Bonnell, Just a Sigh leans on a strong ensemble — Emmanuelle Devos, Gabriel Byrne, Gilles Privat — 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 drama titles of 2013.
