CTRL-X
A window opens. A video. An advertisement. A news flash. The phone rings. Adèle is worried. “Did you take your pills?” Laurent grows impatient. “Do you want me to come back up?” A window opens. Photos of Pierre. Interviews with Pierre. Memories of Pierre. A window opens. On Ida’s love. On her memory. On her urges. On her obsessions. On a past locked in the present of a computer screen. In the space of one night. For the duration of a crisis, or perhaps an escape.
POINGS
Poings (Fists) is a fight to pull oneself together. It’s the story of five moments of a toxic relationship, from the first meeting to the breaking point, told from the point of view of a woman in shock who tries to makes sense of what she has lived through. It’s the story of five actions with radical biases that bring loss to the surface. Exhausting oneself to be awoken, destroying oneself to be rebuilt, going far away to be closer to oneself; every experience explores a borderline state to reveal the relentless force of refusal and resistance we each carry: eyes that never look downwards, fists firmly clenched in the dark.
