Mado, a famous actress, is spending her summer vacation in her country home in Brittany with her brother Simon, her son Julien, who wants to become a filmmaker, and Brice, her present lover and the director of her most recent films. Things are very stormy between Julien and his mother due to the fact that Julien is madly in love with Lili, a local girl who dreams of becoming an actress. Lili thinks fondly of Julien, but she is fascinated by Brice and his notoriety and embarks on an affair with him that sees them run off to Paris together. Fast forward five years after that summer, and Lili has become a famous young actress. She is no longer with Brice, but she learns by chance that Julien is about to make his first film...and its about her.

A mature, mellow tranche of French humanist cinema, flecked with sly wit and played by an aces cast…
Derek Elley, Variety -
French filmmaker Claude Miller's ingeniously freewheeling adaptation of "The Seagull," drags Chekhov's 1895 play into the age of cellphones, digital video and hip-hop. In doing so, it stirs up a fascinating and contradictory mixture of the eternal and the transitory.
Stephen Holden, The New York Times -
...a work of whimsy, passion, visual lushness and no small degree of warmth for its characters, and that's saying something.
Kirk Honeycutt, The Hollywood Reporter
