Canicule

‘CANICULE’ is an award-winning short film directed by Leila Lamblin & Charly Destombes.
Starring Natalia Pujszo, Louis de Villers, Tanya Mattouk, Charles Attans & Cody Austin Bush.

On a hot summer night in Paris, Lou, 26, is throwing a party at her place. As the the time goes by, she appears to be at a crossroad in her life, slowly realizing she is not as personally fulfilled as she thought she was. A chapter will close that night, leaving room for a brand new start.
