ABOUT THE DIRECTOR:
|
Born in Toulouse, I am a young queer man, curious and highly observant. After studying English literature, I joined the Master’s directing program at ENSAV (National School of Audiovisual Studies) and later completed my studies at FAMU, the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. Passionate about sensory and visceral cinema, I seek to place the audience in a state of suspended breath, allowing them to experience an intense, intimate, and sensual close-contact exchange. I enjoy exploring queer identity, delicate human relationships, and love.

DIRECTOR'S NOTE
Opening up to others is frightening, allowing yourself to let go feels dangerous, and not being ashamed of your feelings is difficult. Because of this, we build a protective shell. Alone, we remain stuck. But one encounter can change everything... I wanted to film this hotel room as a place sheltered from prying eyes and judgment. A place where the sexual stereotypes of dating apps no longer matter. A place where desire reveals itself in a more modest and sensitive way. A place where body language takes precedence over dialogue. The film portrays a sexual and emotional emancipation within a hyperconnected queer environment.
