Un monde sans femmes
Guillaume Brac
2011 - France - 56mn
A small resort on the Picardy coast, the last week in August. Handing over the keys to their holiday rental, Sylvain meets a young mother and her daughter, each one as attractive as the other. A perfect opportunity, if only for a few days, to escape from the solitary life he leads where women are desperately absent.

“Un monde sans femmes (A World Without Women) by Guillaume Brac, takes us to Ault, a small resort on the Picardy coast. Two attractive young women from Paris arrive there at the end of June for a week's rest. It takes a certain time to realise that they are a mother (brunette) and her daughter (blonde). Sylvain, the shy and solitary thirty-something who gives them the keys to their holiday rent before showing the local attractions (shrimp fishing, the Le France disco, Bouboule's café, …), will need a little more time to work out which of the two to choose. The petulant, abrasive, slightly lost mother? The discreet, deep daughter?” (Jacques Mandelbaum, Le Monde)
