Highly Commended: In the doorway

Victoire Bernadet - In the doorway
Here is the short movie we made during our Master in ECV Bordeaux. Through this movie, we wanted to capture a moment of life. For a moment, we share the intimacy of a couple, in the 1950s. We follow them to the rythm of their emotions, behind closed doors in their room, to end up coming out touched by their story.
