ROMEO AND HIS BODY
by Fred Gervais
One winter night, Romeo, a wide-eyed orphan, unearths his father's body, drags it home, plunges it into a bathtub, and awakens him from the dead. Like a newborn baby, Romeo rediscovers his senses and movement, while Romeo tries his best to care for him and keep him by his side. Though these two men no longer belong to the same world, they both share a vulnerability impossible to conceal.
with Christophe Levac, Patrick Hivon
Why is this vital?
A fable that dares to embrace fragility to the point of absurdity in order to better touch upon something profoundly human.
