For Elsa

2020 · 30 min

A quiet, intimate slice of Parisian life that unfolds gently, letting small gestures and shared spaces carry the emotional weight.

Directed by
Carmen Leroi
Overview
In a large building in a Parisian district, Elsa lives alone. Her young neighbor Alice hears her playing the piano at home and enjoys it. Elsa suggests that she learn the piano and offers to play it at home, when she is not there. Alice thus gets into the habit of living in Elsa's apartment several times a week.
