Ce que cherche Jacques

1970 · 15 min

A brief, cerebral chamber piece that watches friendships strain under invisible social pressures, leaving a quiet, lingering unease.

Overview
A moral adventure: one sees friendships being born and being discarded, under the pressure of avowed authorities such as the family and the prejudices it states, or unavowed as the economy that no individual alone expresses.
How it feels
Melancholic, tense, earnest and satirical. Measured and demanding.
About
Friendship, class, family, identity
Content
Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
