Director Statement

The indo-european languages often use a poor vocabulary for what we call "love". But in ancient Greece, there was as many as the seven gods who each represented an aspect of it. In the Cratylus, Plato insists on differentiating Himeros(desire of something finite) and Pothos (longing for something absent, that doesn't have a material aspect).

I always wanted to write a story about a disillusioned man, who lost all of his Himeros and discovers his inner Pothos , so to speak. The middle aged, existential crysis prone man who will do anything not to be doing "anything". This was Joseph as he first appeared to me : someone who will question his Kosmos so hard that it will detonate something. And what a more appropriate place for this to happen than the lush and beautiful Côte d'Azur : an overwhelming contrast between a burning heart and the calm blue sea, put down on celluloïd.
