Struck by a car on her bike, a young woman’s life passes before her eyes as she lies dying. From the mundane (she hopes her panties aren’t showing), her thoughts range to how friends and family might receive the bad news, to the final acts that she had unknowingly undertaken (“May 20—last time I got caught in the rain”), and to the things she’ll never get to experience. This bittersweet, lovely French film makes an ideal short, an essentially plotless exposition of an idea that fits perfectly into a 15-minute space.
