Perfection
Society forces us to put on a myriad of masks, at the price of our truth and what and who we are in the deepest. In the first part of this fashion film, we're invited into a photograph set where a game of seduction and craving is taking place between our protagonist and her photographer, until it turns into a deadly trap. From which she escapes through an act of rebellion, that breakes the balance and pulls out the primeval force of nature hidden inside her chest. Getting rid of everything is old in her past, she awakens in a pristine environment in another form and thanks to the encounter with two other sibling beings, she reminds her backstory but she's finally ready to bid farewell to it and join her true self with a new awareness.

This movie stems from my desire to give a shape to states of mind and motions of soul otherwise too difficult to express with words.
