Mes Vieux Démons

71 views

This film explores trauma: how we experience it, how we react to it, and how we recover from it. The paralysis, the anger, the resilience, the acceptance… and the ways some manage to overcome these challenges. Beauty is overshadowed by trauma. The making of this film is inspired by the true story of the actress who plays the lead role. This film can be interpreted in different ways, depending on the viewer’s perspective and personal experiences.
