About the film

What at first glance appears to be an ordinary family day in the south of France gradually reveals itself in Under a Bad Star as a daily reality permeated by anxiety, anger, and the emotional and physical violence that stems from them. Kiki and her partner Alex are trapped in a paralyzing cycle of action and reaction, driven by a distorted, reality-detached notion of love. The couple’s young daughter, Malone, becomes a witness to this relationship drama: over the course of 24 hours, she observes Kiki’s emotional journey as she navigates the twists and turns of pain, passion, confusion, tenderness, and desperation.

Yann Berlie, Lola Cambourieu

Yann Berlier (born 1993 in Montpellier, France) studied political philosophy and applied ethics before teaching philosophy in high school. He later left education to pursue filmmaking. Lola Cambourieu (born 1991 in Albi, France) trained in dramatic arts at Cours Florent and the Conservatoire de Seine-Saint-Denis. After working as an actress and theatre director, she gradually moved into filmmaking, with an interest in the boundary between documentary and fiction. In 2018, Lola and Yann founded the production company Réalviscéralisme. The pair have co-directed several short films, including Panthère (2018), Automne malade (2019), La cousinade (2020) and Enterrement de vie de jeune fille (2021), many of which appeared at international festivals. Their first feature film, Under a Bad Star (Mauvaise étoile), premiered in the ACID section of the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.
