Synopsis: Two road workers spend the summer of 1988 away from their city lives. The isolated landscape becomes a place of misadventure as the men find themselves at odds with each other and the women they left behind.
Review: An in camera without any door! The introduction explains that the region has suffered wildfire and shows the desaster. The story focuses on the talks of these two guys in a nature that has been destroyed. This appears to me as the image of their own lives. Destroyed relationships in their cities with their women. Along the movie, we see how the landscape regenerates and keeps its beauty. And this will be slowly mirrored on the characters as well after showing their own desasters.  The landscapes are wonderful, even if post-apocalyptic. This reminds me a trail in Corse in a region that suffered wildfire a couple of years earlier and another trail in Finland in a region that suffered from storm one month ago. The close-up on small parts of the forest are also beautiful and have a similar beauty to the close-up on the body of the protagonists of Amer.  This movie is thus a beautiful image of hope.
