A young, successful businesswoman is making breakfast. Something is troubling her profoundly, and we sense the presence of someone or something haunting her while she prepares what looks like the last supper. Her loved one has been killed in a plane accident, and while the story little by little reveals that she has something to do with it, we also realise she has decided to go on a very long journey to find peace.

This movie was initially intended to be a music video for one of the bands I’ve been involved in1 but ended up becoming a silent movie in its own right. I always believe that the audience is much more intelligent than people in this business usually think, so I wanted to write a history that could “fold upon itself”, only revealing its true meaning by taking a closer look at the story. I also wanted to make a short statement regarding the great tempo in which the modern industry is moving in, leaving no room for thoroughness, thus making it harder to avoid errors while giving a miniature portrait of a successful woman in her last hours on the planet, haunted by the memory of her lost love, like a small intriguing puzzle which gives a second dimension to the film when you finally see the whole picture.

Ecstatic, she tells her boyfriend about her shopping adventures while settling an argument regarding the length of her imprisonment.

Consumerism is peaking both in the West and now in the East as well. I wanted to try my hands on a small scenario with a monologue, and luckily I also got the chance of working with a Sanford Meisner1-educated actor. I am also a great admirer of Hitchcock (who isn’t). I like the saying from Truffaut that his “love scenes were filmed like murder scenes, and the murder scenes like love scenes” With this in mind, I wanted to tell the story of a young woman so addicted to shopping that she had to go on a rehab, with the consequences that would follow; both as a statement of the ever increasing consumerism, especially in the rich Northern European countries, but also as a humble, impromptu homage to Hitchcock and film-noire.

Earth’s vulnerability, climate change, and the scarcity of resources are among Thomas Pesquet’s pet peeves. For the French astronaut, Space can help to meet these challenges. https://t.co/jDuiiji4zF https://t.co/DayFKA1GeG
