Faced with the inescapable threat of climate change, Le temps offers a journey to the heart of a world devastated by global warming. Wavering between the reality of a bygone era and the prospect of a frightening future, this anticipation film is constructed mainly from a succession of still images and supported by a narrative framework imbued with a sensitivity intimately linked to characters. He thus appeals simultaneously to the formal properties of cinema, photography and literature to propose a fable on the Anthropocene.
