Synopsis
Spoiler shield
Surrealist in inspiration, the film depicts vaguely dystopian creatures that at times evoke carnival figures, seen through the lens of a "small oval cache" (Lafleur) and whose bodies seem to float under the action of the camera. The soundtrack intertwines carefully recorded sound effects.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
