LE LAC

Synopsis

Note d'intention

Under the pretext of a sailing race, a woman and a man at the turning point of their life take off on a wide lake, leaving the past and fiction to embark on the documentary. In a pas de deux with reality, the film is a slide towards a here-and-now, where to invest oneself physically, totally. From the lake, one is beside the world, in its reverse shot, in tribune facing the city at odds with civilization. No escape from a lake, as from one’s body or life, except through the abyss or heart, by the senses. Day by night, shooting bodies like landscapes and landscapes like characters, barely spoken, it will be an audio and pictorial experience. This film means finding oneself in the wild, on the edge of the civilized world, ringed with cities, prosperity and nature, in the giddiness of uncertainty.
