They are seeking protection against the barbarians, whose arrival has been announced on social media. Before entering, they must all dispose of their electronic devices. An initiatory journey for these characters who stand as symbols of modern society. This film was commissioned by Les Chantiers Nomades (also producers of Cristi Puiu’s Trois Exercices d’interprétation) for an acting workshop. Yet it contains all the elements of Eugène Green’s own method of filmmaking : a precise mise-en-scène, thoughtful texts and words, theatrical dialogues… Most importantly, Eugène Green continues to share his gaze on the state of the world and how we could make our lives meaningful again.
