MARIE

Shortfilm | 20 min. 

Marie is a story about hope. It aims to show the power of our unconsciousness and imagination. Marie is a young woman from a small village where, as a teenager, she experienced her first love and her first abuse. She tries to leave all of this behind her, moving to another country. However, it’s impossible to forget. One day, after a vivid flashback, she takes a walk in night. During this walk she encounters Fear, Trust and Freedom as human beings, in a sort of magic realism. Through a conversation with them, Marie will be able to face and accept her past, and to enter her future with a new peaceful gaze.
