Private Project

A bout de flouse

TOUFIK, fifty is a director. He has just learned the day before the filming of his new film that JP, his volunteer cinematographer, will not be able to come to the filming because the latter has just been hired on a paid film shoot. Stunned by this bad news, TOUFIK decides, despite the very little time he has, to find a volunteer cinematographer with his own camera for a period of ten days.
