About the Director: 

I am a passionate climber and, while doing my degree in literature, I was training and travelling a lot. Climbing led me to filmmaking: I started doing documentaries about the sport, its philosophy, its practisers. I eventually moved to a great climbing place in England (Sheffield). There I combined intensive rock climbing with a master of arts in cinematography and editing. At that point, I was still a bit scared about making fiction short films, because fiction meant acting… and acting was so important for me: secretely, I had always dreamt of becoming and actress, but I wasn’t confident enough to make it real…However, after one year of interpreting for asylum seekers, which I enjoyed though, I decided I had to throw myself into fiction film. I moved to the south of France because I was bored of climbing between rain drops, I was admitted in a filmmaking school very difficult to enter, and, by making successful short films, I became more and more confident about my creativeness. Therefore, I thought I could also gain confidence in my talent for acting and I started to test how people reacted to my acting performances…Today, I am proud to say that I am both a director and an actress, and I’m making my way through the harsh medias universe.

Film synopsis: 
An interpreter. Totally cold and distant: very professional. Her position? In between: on one side, refugees exposing their suffering, on the other side, doctors, solicitors or psychiatrists, who know how to help them. And she herself can only decode words and relay information, filtering emotions and hiding all about herself. She knows how to swallow, filter and regurgitate. Until the arrival of an African whose charm dramatically arouses her. This meeting is going to stir up all the emotions she had kept hidden and to question her go-between role in the triangular communication. Another universe starts to rise to the surface.
