Ablou is a young man prisoner of a dream and a park. He meets strange characters who try to lock him up a little more in this long sleep.
Two men meet in a park: Haldern has on a black balaclava, while Ablou is wearing white underpants. The film is based on choreography by Daniel Larrieu, who was invited to "play with the story board" of Alfred Jarry's book "Haldernablou", with illustrations by Tom de Pékin.
Idea
This documentary about the life and work of filmmaker Jean Painlevé was originally presented in eight parts on French television. It was edited to remove duplicated material from its original length of 240 minutes.
Young trans women make the streets of Paris their cabaret. Their dreams are quickly overtaken by reality.
Adolfo Arrieta’s third feature film stars famed French transsexual and founding member of the FHAR (Homosexual Front for Revolutionary Action), Marie-France, and is widely regarded as the first Parisian underground film. The loose plot revolves around the ex-wife of a famous sculptor who convinces her lover to remove a work by her ex-husband and replace it with a live model.
