Rien du tout, 2006

Video

A film director wants to shoot a film about the Middle Ages in the banlieue of Paris. During casting, she is focused upon one person. The car park in front of the theatre where the young amateur actors and actresses are waiting soon becomes the scene of the actual plot. Inside, as the director and her assistant grow increasingly estranged, the superfluous figures outside begin to celebrate and dance. The film was shot in 2006 in Bretigny-sur-Orge, France.
