Cambradin, a young sculptor struggles to find success and fortune in his art, despite of his life dedication to it. One night, he has the chance to see all his probleme being solved, but at what cost ?


Cambradin is the protagonist.

He was designed as a sculpture, with sharp shapes. During the film, he becomes famous and rich, so he has multiple looks. He represents a very academic vision of art.

Mephistophéles, is the antagonist.

He is a Faustian Devil, who makes a pact with Cambradin. He represents the dark sides of Cambradin, but also a  more creative vision of art.


The creatures fighting at the end of the movie represents the character's vision of art. While the Cambradin's one look more like a Greek Statue, the one created by Mephistophéles are polymorphic and more hideous.


The environnements are greatly inspired by French Comics, with a fat black line. They represents the mental space of Cambradin during the movie.


The film is sequenced in different color ambiances. It shows the mood of the protagonists.
