Synopsis

She loses her sight. Once back among friends and family: blindness, isolation and a strange perception of the bodies around her. Rejection of these changes and an abrupt decision to put an end to it all. In the peacefulness of early morning, the terms of a new shared existence take shape.

MUBI's take

The short films of French artist and filmmaker Clément Cogitore occupy a halfway house between contemporary art and cinema. This award-winning sophomore film carries an uncanny chill, following a blind woman into a crepuscular no-man’s-land populated by ill-defined bodies and nebulous threats.
