The Petal Pusher
An ode to New York's Penn Station and one of its longest-running businesses, “The Petal Pusher” is a reflection on the economics of love (and desperation), and it's a testament to a bygone era — before recent construction transformed the station into a kind of mall filled with chain stores. At its heart, this is a story about love, loss, and family.

Set in Bordeaux and shot in southwestern France, L'amoureux (The Lover) is a love letter to long-distance relationships depicted by real-life lovers. Inspired by the director's all-encompassing romance, this film adaptation of her short story takes viewers on a voyeuristic journey through the senses of a perceptive next-door neighbor.


Narrated entirely in French, L'amoureux explores the neighbor's longing for the intimacy she once audibly experienced in the adjacent apartment. It serves as poetic proof that love can be felt in the wake of absence and that distance truly does make the heart grow fonder.
