   - Stéphane Batut and Thimotée Robart the 9 November 2019 - 16:15

A young man roams Paris in search of people only he can see. Based on this mythological premise, Stéphane Batut has created a daring and sensual first work, a Cocteau-like dream-movie…

In the credits, the moviemaker acknowledges George du Maurier and Sacha Guitry. You might also think of Cocteau, Magritte and their dreams, “which are not meant to send you to sleep but rather wake you up.” A simple, gentle story about a psychic, troubled by a bizarre encounter in the City of Light. A free-spirited, daring and lyrical first work brimming with magic and poetry. With the participation of the great Italian photographer Cecilia Mangini.
