À l'Ombre du Soleil

69 views

À l’Ombre du Soleil follows Marcel, a young baker and single father navigating life after the loss of his wife, Marie. Overwhelmed yet tender, he finds refuge in family videos that replay endlessly, blurring past and present. As days unfold beside his son Pierre, a quiet shift begins to take place — allowing grief to soften and a new balance to emerge.

biography

I am a Belgian filmmaker and single mother. Trained as a visual artist, I naturally moved toward cinema, drawn by its ability to unite multiple art forms. Film allows me to explore intimacy, resilience, and human relationships through both images and storytelling.
