Léthé

2020 · 16 min

A quiet, contemplative gaze at roadside memorials, letting silence and summer light carry the weight of loss.

Directed by: Christophe Pellet
Genres: Documentary

Overview: On the island of Amorgos, during summer. Small monuments were erected at the scene of a fatal accident: a photograph, a few words, flowers, religious or pagan objects. The deceased "stayed there": dead in transit, on a road, frozen forever.
