(CANAL+ Prize and Audience Prize – Clermont-Ferrand 2025)

An absurd tragedy set in a repressive society where kissing is punishable by death and people pay by receiving slaps in the face. Angine, an unhappy woman, engages in compulsive shopping in a department store and becomes captivated by a naïve salesgirl. Despite the ban on kissing her, the two grow closer, arousing the suspicion of a jealous coworker.

The film will be screened at Palazzo Grassi as part of a selection of films from the Schermo dell’arte festival.
