Half Sister, Full Love

Et ta sœur — Half Sister, Full Love (2016) is a French comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Pierrick, still raw from his brother's death, takes up his best friend Tessa's offer of her empty country house. It isn't empty. Tessa's half-sister Marie has already arrived to nurse her own heartbreak, and neither of them is pleased about it.

Directed by Marion Vernoux, the film puts Virginie Efira and Grégoire Ludig together with almost nothing happening plot-wise. The tension is conversational — two strangers with separate wounds, sharing a roof, gradually dropping the social armour that grief makes people put on. It's the kind of French drama that trusts a pause and a look to do what a monologue can't. Watch Half Sister, Full Love online on iFILM.
