Director: Mathieu Baillargeon
Duration: 19 min
Time: 6:00 pm
Plot: Life in an ordinary café is disrupted by the intrusion of a weird and authoritative woman who starts manipulating the customers as if they were puppets. In spite of themselves, they become both spectators and actors in a somewhat macabre drama. In this café turned into a stage, a man’s life from birth to death is (being) told. The story of his fate is bound to choices that are not always choices. The story of a mysterious man, in turn, is surprising or frightening, maybe because we are very much like him deep down. But is it just a game? Where is the story leading us? Are we the spectators or the actors of that life?
