Passionate about dance she often integrates this art in her films to let free the body expression
Leila this blind young woman, this unique character chose to live alone in her colorful house and her scents of plants with a thousand perfumes to savor every simple thing in life, because she knows full well that only the most souls deep and awake will be able to see the light.
She creates her jewelry with different textures based on her imagination for shapes, thanks to this haptic sense that allows to better connect vision and hearing.
She invites us to enter her world through this dance in the rain, there she expresses herself in all sincerity, strength and weakness, solitude and compassion with graceful and expressive gestures.
Everything is based on energies, she tries to explain to her sister through a metaphor of the creation of golfo mistico that this space that was created at the end of the eighteenth century in the opera theaters reserved for the orchestra so as not to disturb the spectators with their movements and their lights, which is absurd for her because all the vibrations are in this space.
She is guided by its other senses, smell, not to smell the scent of roses but to detect fear and anguish through the secretion of Yessine's skin that came to see her.
At the end of the film we discover that it is she who is voyanate, and that all the other characters are blind.
This film is shot in a rather special way. I wanted to align realism with the paranormal because this film is a film with several deep levels of readings, which encourages the awakened viewer to reflect on our own senses. It is a concept as well-acquired as it is mysterious.
What we see and what we should see in the relative and absolute sense, Leila wonders why all her terrors on this earth, why not live serenely, help our neighbor and listen to others, live in peace by what love is the water of life.
The whole art of composition is to find a balance between the elements that make up the frame. The camera will be close to the characters in slight motion but always making sure not to see their eyes. It's going to be like a game of seduction and shyness between her and the actors.
This kind of camera movements is to better immerse the spectators in fiction with a certain softness; these primers are to fit the characters' point of view. It will eventually be based on the details, the inserts.
Very skilful with her hands, Leila has distinguished herself, proving innovation with her unique models whose shapes are irregular.
For her each jewel is a witness of life, with each piece created she tells her emotions and her moods with great sensuality.
