_Perdrix_ / _The Bare Necessity_ is about a woman who is like one of those people one finds on social media: they treat love like a serial killer they don''t believe in while they wait to become one of its victims. A refreshing and quirky romantic comedy you''ll let yourself like because the humour is so offbeat that you''ll laugh less than the intellectuals but enjoy it more.
