6000 Lies

2024 · 5 min

A brief, unsettling plunge that blurs reality and fiction, leaving a haunting aftertaste long after its five minutes end.

Overview
6000 mensonges comes to the spectator as lightning in a clear sky. What starts as a recollection of prenatal images we are used to seeing suddenly becomes a dive into an unknown territory, in which the border between reality and fiction is no longer relevant. The result is a striking, haunting and powerful testimony of a devastating experience that is lived by many in silence, told in the most contemporary possible way.
