Behind The Shutters

Starting with an empty factory, a family name and a trunk of archives, the poetic stroll of an apprentice filmmaker who moves in her grandmother’s house while expecting her first child. A film-book, woven of scattered materials, archival documents and language games, wondering about the transformation of the female body, the question of an impossible transmission and the fabric of time.
