Les murs

Astride a stark, sun-bleached cityscape, a weary man returns to his childhood home, where the walls seem to press in with memories he’s trying to outrun. In a series of quiet, almost documentary-like episodes, the film follows his tentative reconnections with the people and places that shaped him, from the cracked sidewalk cafe to the shadowed stairwell of a long-gone era. Time blurs as he negotiates duty, longing, and the stubborn ache of belonging, revealing how rooms and corridors can become battlegrounds for identity. With restrained dialogue and restless visual poetry, the story traces a ritual of reconciling with the past.
