Legendary French New Wave actor Jean-Pierre Léaud plays Jean, an ageing film star struggling to perform his character’s death. When the production is unexpectedly suspended, he retreats to an abandoned house where Juliette (Pauline Etienne), the great love of his life, once lived. There, he encounters a group of local children searching for a lead actor for their homemade horror film. Born out of a filmmaking workshop led by Nobuhiro Suwa (Voices in the Wind), reality and fantasy mingle freely, sidestepping simple naturalism. The film places the children’s cinematic encounter and their playful, curious interaction with Léaud at its heart. It captures with rare purity the relationship between those in front of the camera and those behind it, and what emerges as performance from that exchange. Suwa’s collective filmmaking approach invites us to rethink the possibilities of a shared act of creation.
