A murder in a family field with a dream decoration near Grasse, the wink of the director of the summer sagas, followed by a police investigation grades in the context of high family conflicts. All sprinkled with money and social inequalities.
But Sun It seems to be treated for its format: six episodes of 40 minutes in one hour are not enough to transcribe all the tones of family resentments and non -dictates that obtain relationships.
It is true that the turns and turns at the end of the episode encourage compulsive visualization, but sometimes at the expense of the coherence of history. The dramas are linked, sometimes thrown by hair, with compromise or arrow in the heart.
It is still that with its Provencal decoration and its cicadas, Sun He grabs an afternoon of idleness, when it’s too hot outside. As a guilty pleasure.
