In the middle of his life, Sharif, an isolated gardener on a countryside estate, takes in a strangely mute being. As time passes, the latter will shift him into a vegetal and phantasmal world.
Biography and Filmography
Alex Pou was born in France. After studying at the ENSBA (École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris), he became an editor and then started making films that aim to reveal the complex relationships between different worlds (human, animal, vegetal) and the situations they generate: solitude, troubled communications, mutations. His stories often borrow from the codes of fairy tales, fables, or the fantastical, placing them in indeterminate temporal spaces. His films are shown in cinemas, festivals, galleries, and art centers. In parallel, he teaches at ESACM (École Supérieure d'Art de Clermont Métropole) and also writes texts about cinema.
