Private Project

In His Image

Grandpa draws an engine. Children build an android, playing with a mannequin and unsettle their family, especially the grandfather, a watercolour painter with a passion for mechanics - who will change his subjects, realizing he has to paint portraits rather than engines.

Director Statement

Staging the balance between spirit and matter, that's the game as screen writer and director. That's the deal in the middle. Poetry. Every choice, concept, actor must suggest it. So I can admire the characters working at the unfolding of the plot.
