Vom Gröller stays true to her characteristic penchant for the spontaneous associations possible between a few bare elements, in what at core remains a portrait of both a young woman and the famous Père Lachaise graveyard in Paris. It is precisely these relations between character, place, and music—Françoise Hardy’s classic tune “Tous les garçons et les filles,” as sung a cappella by the film’s subject herself. A concise summary could be ventured: “A young singer, suffering from heartache, spends her afternoons among tombs and bare trees. One grave, presumably of a couple, catches her eye.” One can’t help but feel for Jelena (the character); for her longings so accurately rendered by the filmmaker—as if reminded of an emotion one was unaware of having lost, yet which seems somehow retrievable, if for a moment, through film.
