A surrealistic portrait of humanity explores the complexity of human archetypes through a series of tableaux that deconstruct the inward journey of Francois Jane, obsessed with Charlotte. The film's non-linear narrative is driven by the characters' aesthetic and metaphorical states of consciousness, unfolding through a sumptuous backdrop of present-day Paris and the haunting town of Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic. The 50mm aesthetic creates a sequence of canvases, where photographic representations serve as stylized expressions of the characters. The poetic dialogues and scenic canvases function as a filmic choreography of beauty, pain, and differing states of consciousness, revealing Francois Jane's self-realizations and the facades we use to function in society.
