Young Jeanne struggles to find meaning in her life. She works at a fairground and lives with her overbearing mother. Until she meets Jumbo, falls in love and finally finds happiness – it's just that Jumbo is a blinking, whirling carnival ride. Against all odds, the feature debut of Belgian writer-director Zoé Wittock is a serious, poetic and tender love story. You can see the taboo-breaking erotic relationship to a massive, oily machine as symbolic, but that doesn't make the beguiling, colourfully neon-lit images any less romantic.
