Write a short summary of what happens in the film

The film takes its departure in a fight and we see a couple on the verge of tearing itself apart. Words that can’t be taken back are said and a metaphoric gap is created between the man and the woman. As their home and the entire building collapses and crumbles into pieces around them, they suddenly realize that they have gone too far, and they take a brave leap back towards each other. The scene is intensified by the spectacular stunts and décor, in a powerful illustration of their desperate fight to not give up on one another and their values. L’Hymne à l’amour by Edith Piaf reinforces the incredible intensity and emotion of this film.

Tell the jury about the visual effects and summarise any relevant challenges or techniques.

As the couple fights, their home and the entire building collapses and crumbles into pieces around them, a metaphor as their relationship breaks apart. Spectacular sets and stunts follow one another to illustrate this will to fight against the renunciation of the other, and its fidelity to one's own values.
