A fleeting encounter

A Fleeting Encounter in French is a 2022 Swiss-Luxembourg film directed by Romed Wyder. Synopsis Sacha, a Genevan in the midst of a midlife crisis, has just broken up with his girlfriend and ends up in his grandparents' Airbnb, where he is forced to cohabit with Marjan, an Iranian woman who is more or less in the same situation. Two dissatisfied people, each seeking to be alone, involuntarily thrown into a closed space, trying to deal with their problems and where the other is experienced as an aggression. Then Mina arrives, an American woman full of life... The two protagonists will then, little by little, abandon their prejudices, forgetting themselves in the present moments and the possible futures of an involuntary meeting.
