Story
A writer, isolated in a manor with only a groom and gardener for company, meets a young illegal immigrant woman from the Arab world. Instead of turning her away, he offers her shelter in exchange for an unusual proposition: she agrees to become the muse for his next metafiction essay. The woman, who is desperate and vulnerable, accepts this arrangement, leading to an intense and intimate cohabitation behind closed doors.
Summary
L'autre côté du miroir (2016) directed by Aurélien Réal, is a French drama that explores themes of isolation, desperation, and intimacy. Set in a secluded manor, the film follows a writer's encounter with an illegal immigrant woman from the Arab world. The story delves into their unconventional arrangement, blurring the lines between hospitality, exploitation, and desire. With its mature content and unsimulated sexual scenes, the film aims to provoke thought and discussion about power dynamics, vulnerability, and the complexities of human relationships.
The film is notable because it features an unsimulated sex scene between Camélia Montassere and co-star Didier Gallon. The film's director, Aurélien Réal, confirmed this, describing the scene as "very immodest" and filmed from "before to after the sexual act". The technical team was minimal during the filming to respect the intimate nature of the scene. The explicit content is considered part of an erotic drama or art film rather than pornography, used within the context of the story about a writer and an illegal immigrant.
