Mon beau tombeau

Film

Any place we find ourselves can become a backdrop if we set a story in it. Mon beau tombeau - "My beautiful tomb" - features six characters. My characters make the sets, acting out in them certain rites they have invented. Like the characters, the spaces of the film resemble one another, be they real or constructed. the images are an attempt to create echos in motion. the film is looking for an unhurried equilibrium.
