Summary: (by Guy Bellinger via www.imdb.com)
  "Back from a holiday in Spain, Lili, 19,
  finds that Loïc, her twin brother, has
  left the house following a row with their
  father. She disapproves of her parents'
  apparently light attitude and is particularly
  shocked by her father's reluctance to even
  talk about the event. Lili desperately waits
  for a phone call from Loïc but her brother
  shows no sign of life. It is not long before
  Lili falls into depression and her condition
  quickly deteriorates. She won't eat anymore
  and is about to die when, at long last,
  a postcard written and sent by Loïc brings
  her back to life..."

My Comments:

  Acting and direction is very good.  A quiet movie
  centered on a French family. It focuses on Lili as
  she tries to find clues to her brother's whereabouts. 

  Both Melanie Laurent, who plays Lili, and Kad
  Merad, who plays her dad, won 2007 Cesar awards for
  most promising actress and best supporting actor,
  respectively.

  (Not available in netflix or amazon prime...we are
  showing a region 2 DVD copy.  Hope you can join us.)
