What happens

Le Comptoir (1998) é um longa-metragem dirigido pela cineasta francesa Sophie Tatischeff. O filme representa uma incursão sensível e contemplativa no universo rural francês, explorando temas de memória, identidade e transformação social. Filha do renomado cineasta Jacques Tati, Tatischeff imprime sua própria marca autoral, afastando-se do humor físico característico de seu pai e adotando uma abordagem mais introspectiva e poética.
