Goofs
As Eloise wakes up at the beginning, two clocks indicate it is 6:05 am. She gets dressed, which would take a few minutes at the pace shown. She puts on his wristwatch, which is still at 6:05. This could still be explained by the watch running behind, although that would not fit the character. But then the left clock's alarm goes off and both clocks are also still at 6:05, which is impossible.

Crazy credits
After the end credits are brief shots of the real Bruno, his passing TGV, and the real Eloise waving and showing a rolled up letter.

our live is like a trip or like an observer of the others trips

This story is a true story, so this brings a special emotion level when watching. In the audience there was a woman telling; "hey, it happened exactly the same to me! "

So without spoiler alert I can say: what a romantic and funny story can occur when you live in a place like the protagonists live: close to a railway track.

Yes, feel invited to watch that short movie; the actress is really touching our feelings and its poetic and beautiful.
