Zonca's lyrical cinema verite style magnifies the small tensions and flare-ups that can blow apart a friendship in the blink of an eye.

The dreamlife of Angels (La Vie rêvée des anges) is a story of capitalistic and sexual exploitation, rage, rebellion, and the search for meaning in everyday things.
