Acqua Alta - La traversée du miroir / Adrien M & Claire B / 10'.
A woman, a man, a house. An absurd and divisive daily life. But one rainy day, life turns upside down: the rising waters engulf the house in a sea of ink. The woman slips and disappears. All that remains of her is her hair. Alive. This is the story of a catastrophe, particular and universal. It is the story of a loss and a quest. It is the story of the fear of the strange and of otherness, and of its taming.
