Petit coeur

Directed by Selim Bentounes

Under the pine forest, the winds sweep a villa deserted by its inhabitants. Selim Bentounes surrounds himself with relatives to film the dynamics of a group of occupants, protecting the last beating heart of a universe without feelings. The dystopian flavor of Little Heart is not tasted in a profusion of effects. The film elegantly carves a melancholy into the setting, the sound, the faces and the everyday scenes that are not quite what they seem. It is far from the others that this film-parable goes however, so that the world is reborn for a moment, in an explosion of pure emotions.
