Film where character uses go as philosophy?

Post by msgreg »

I thought I saw a post on L19 about a film where a character uses go as a philosophical explanation for situations in the film (or in life). I thought I remember that the film was french and the character was a girl, and the film was streaming over netflix.

I cannot find the name of the film. Can anyone help?

I don't remember how much the character "uses go as a philosophical explanation for situations", but she does play a couple of games with her neighbor, as I recall
