Hôtel Echo
Eléonor Gilbert / 54 min / 2018
Can't you see anything coming? No, all I see is the sky glowing red and the road powdering...
From a watchtower in the Ardèche, two friends search for the smoke that will inexorably appear.
But this lookout is also the story of an inner lookout. What do we see that we can't name or declare?
Memories emerge, situations of domestic violence are evoked; it would be simple if we could spot them as we spot smoke that has just begun to burn the forest.
