[Locarno FF '23] Produced by the fashion brand AMI Paris, this short film is unbalanced between the personal and the purely advertising, especially in its visual tone. The story proposes an experimental journey around identity, or rather the lack of identity, with a marked autobiographical tone. The protagonist returns to Paris to rediscover his Franco-Algerian roots, having even lost his name when his family moved to London. This kind of dream connects fears and inner conflict through a surreal nocturnal adventure that reflects on the loss of identities.
