LA PORTE FERMÉE / The Closed Door

120 views

In a psychologist’s office, patients come and go. They all talk about beauty. Too much, not enough, lost, fantasized. Confessions unfold, funny, absurd, sometimes cruel, until a little girl takes a seat. With disarming simplicity, she disrupts the frame and reveals what adults refuse to see. A film that begins like a bittersweet comedy and, without warning, slips into a far more serious reality. A direct look at beauty, silence, and what is hidden behind closed doors.
