A young woman (Aude Léger) is hit by a car while riding her bicycle and her final thoughts span her friends, family and boyfriend. Filmmakers Elizabeth Marre and Olivier Pont manage to create a full world in a brief period of time and despite the blatant sentimentality their efforts are quite affecting, down to the lovely use of Madeleine Peyroux's Bob Dylan cover "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go." (15 minutes, France)
