What is an Into Film Club?

Synopsis

A happy middle-aged couple are stuck on finding the perfect boys' name. Each one suggested they feel is either too outdated, too feminine or just not quite right. As they go about their daily lives they continue to throw suggestions at each – but for just who is this name for? This comedic French language short raises questions about gender and societal expectations.
