The movie tells a deeply emotional story of loss, grief, and the struggle to cope with it. The story revolves around Marie (Charlotte Rampling) and Jean (Bruno Cremer), a middle-aged couple who have been married for over 25 years. The couple is spending their summer vacation at their beach house in southwest France. They seem to have a perfect life, with a happy marriage and successful careers. However, their lives are about to take a turn for the worse.

While taking a walk on the beach, Jean suddenly disappears without a trace. Marie is devastated by his sudden disappearance, and she plunges into a state of shock and denial. She cannot believe that her husband is gone, and she refuses to accept the fact that he may be dead. She continues to live her life as if nothing has happened, going to work, meeting friends, and carrying on with her daily routine.

As time goes by, Marie's mental state begins to deteriorate. She starts to imagine that Jean is still with her, and she begins to see and talk to him. Marie's friends and colleagues become increasingly concerned about her mental health, and they try to convince her to seek help. However, Marie continues to live in a world of denial, refusing to come to terms with her loss.

The movie beautifully portrays Marie's struggles with grief and the effects it has on her mental health. Charlotte Rampling delivers an outstanding performance as Marie, perfectly capturing the character's emotions and inner turmoil. Her performance is so intense that it brings the audience along for the turbulent emotional ride.

The film also explores the complex emotions and relationships that exist between family members, friends, and loved ones during times of crisis. Through Marie's interactions with her friends and colleagues, the movie depicts the support, concern, and love that people show each other during difficult times.

Sous le sable is a slow-paced and introspective movie that lingers on the raw emotions and vulnerabilities of its characters. The movie is beautifully shot, with the stunning ocean views acting as a metaphor for the vastness and depth of Marie's grief.

Overall, Sous le sable is a moving and poignant movie that tells a powerful story of love and loss. It is a film that will leave the audience emotionally drained but fulfilled, with a better understanding of the complexities of human emotions and the bonds that tie us together.
