Time puts a strange pressure on youth; every moment feels both temporary and eternal. This documentary-drama hybrid production, signed by Edouard Roth, traces this ambivalent feeling and focuses on the moments that take place in high school corridors, rehearsals and backstage. In an atmosphere where music is at the center, the young characters played by Sacha Petri, Edouard Voegtlin and Anna Mitu Popescu come to terms with both their inner worlds and each other. The year carried by the title is not an ordinary date; It functions as a horizon point where young people dream and try to position themselves. The future is abstract but close, hope is concrete but fragile. This tension forms the emotional backbone of the film. While Roth blends documentary realism with fictional narrative, he does not use music only as a background element; On the contrary, music is both a language and a refuge here. At moments when the characters leave themselves most open, the notes come into play and say what cannot be said. In order to convey the anxiety, solidarity and painful transformation of high school years so sincerely, it is necessary to stand on that fine line between reality and fiction. 2036 finds this line masterfully, bringing the viewer face to face with something repressed about his own youth. It's a quiet but impactful production that's a candidate to draw attention at festivals.
