How much time had passed? Spoilers


I like this movie, and I find the musics very nice. But I thought that the relation between Ismael and Erwann happened very fast after Julie's death, so I would like to know how much time passed between Julie's passed away until the end of the movie?

I don't think we can know for sure. Ismael wore the same clothes for the whole movie, which means it was probably around late fall that she died, and time passed into early spring / late winter. I think it was too early for him to submit himself like that too, but I can buy that it was fueled by his longing and despair, which really is what drives people to bed/date others very shortly after break-ups.

The story starts in late November / early December, right at the beginning of the film we see some Christmas decoration in the street (illuminated stars).
