A life like any other

Faustine Cros & 68' — 2022

Faustine’s father immortalized in family films the most beautiful moments of his life, while her mother’s difficulties struck the blind spot of his images. Today the filmmaker revisits these films to tell another story: the one of a woman who sees her role as a mother gradually taking away her freedom.
