After a long night of partying, Nora announces to her friends that she is going to leave them for good. Adrift, the little group spends their last hours together in a bittersweet atmosphere, but Leo, the quietest of the group, slowly sinks into deep distress.
The programmer’s eye
What are we looking for in this energy which pulls us away from each other? In this film, leaving a group triggers a strange emotion that stands somewhere between cruelty and beauty, sweetness and melancholy. The oscillations of the choreography imagined by the director seek their visual definition, between the attraction one has towards others and the latter’s necessary escape. A clue is found in the film’s first shots: a blossoming taking place in a mouth as a way to say goodbye. For all those who have left someone or have been left, and who didn’t understand a thing, a watering can pouring tears in their hearts. — Natacha Seweryn
