Synopsis :

Elisabeth and Raphaël have just married. They set off with a photographer to take wedding photos at the place where they met ten years ago. But when they get there, they discover that their childhood theater has been destroyed, and all that's left is rubble. Raphaël wants to leave, but Elisabeth insists on taking the photos.

Above all, this film tells the story of a woman trapped by an image to which she must conform, and who sees in this rubble the opportunity to deconstruct the obvious. My starting point for this project was the desire for a visual confrontation between the symbolic presence of a place in deconstruction and the culturally constructed image of marriage (white dress, happiness...). From there, I wanted to tell the story of a character, Elisabeth, who is trapped in an image of the couple that she would like to deconstruct/reconstruct.
