Henri

2026 · 25 min

A quiet, intimate portrait that sits with a man's clutter and slowly finds hope in small acts of care.

Overview
Henri lives on the outskirts of Brussels. He loves life but is letting himself die. He withdraws into a world shaped by Diogenes syndrome, where his cluttered home becomes a reflection of his inner self. But Henri’s everyday life takes a surprising turn when he opens himself up to the filmmaker’s help in beginning to tidy his home. Over time, something in Henri slowly shifts.
