Private Project

In One`s Shadow

Eugène avoided life`s surprises, like a contagious disease. He prepared for any scenario, truly any,  in advance. Yet, one night, under the cover of darkness, the unpredictable managed to sneak in. In his shadows he discovered something he could not have prepared for, or more precisely, someone.

Director Statement

I adore tales, before bed time, around the fire, fairy tales, horror tales. These stories with their symbols and metaphors are beyond
specific time yet could happen at any time, they are beyond specific place and could happen anywhere. While they are timeless and universal, at the moment of receiving them, for us they are current, touching and challenging exactly what we feel or think. These stories are magical to me because they are like a puddle, we all take a glance, the water surface is the same, but for each person a different reflection appear. That is the reason I started writing and telling tales through films, this is one of a few films I made in this genre I am exploring.

One metaphor is worth a thousand words, and in this film it is mainly the shadows that accompany us, the castle we enclose in, and the black endless lake in which we swim forward bravely to the unknown. All these vivid and throbbing parts of Eugène's story, are
related to my story as well, and I choose to make this film assuming, in a way, it is touching the story of many more.
Our shadows accompany us, sometimes leading the way, sometimes following behind, revealing the darkness within us. We can try to control all life`s variables, try to deny the existence of darkness, but, one way or another, we encounter it, because where there is light we see, there is also our shadow. In a face-to-face encounter with our darkness, we change. This is a story about this change in awareness, change in the perceiving of life, change in the drive that the rest of the actions follow.
