La mère
Julien, thirty years old, wanders through his life without belonging to it. He disappears in the memories of his lost childhood, of his distant kisses, of his unanswered discussions.
A diffraction of the autobiography using family footage filmed between the 1940s and today, this "science fiction documentary" creates multiple "I"s and transcends a story of mourning
Madame Violaine
Mediados de enero en Bruselas. Se prevé un día anormalmente caluroso para el gris y frío invierno belga. Un coche, decorado con publicidad de una agencia de viajes, circula rápidamente por la autopista. Dentro del vehículo viajan un hombre y tres mujeres: Miguel (Jacques Gamblin), hijo de emigrantes españoles, su entrometida madre (Carmen Maura), la curiosa hija de Miguel, Laura (Raphaëlle Molinier), y Sonia (Ingeborga Dapkunaite), una joven ucraniana, profesora de francés, que entró en Bruselas clandestinamente y que busca a su marido desaparecido. Sus destinos se han cruzado. Un cocktail explosivo para un día demasiado caluroso.
A brother is reunited with his sister in their old family home after years of separation. In the still of the night, images and sounds from their childhood come rushing back, reminding them of a father who, although often austere, did on occasion seem to enter into the spirit of things.
