The Binoculars/Une Paire de Jumelles


Trailer

Synopsis

The plot

The idea for The Binoculars came from the prominence of observation and detachment in our everyday lives. We see everything from a safe distance - but in close up. We scan articles and swipe through notifications without digging deeper - or taking a stand about anything.

Une Paire de Jumelles is Cadence's journey from privileged detachment to engagement, when she encounters the world of the refugees, without her binoculars. The vivid colours and a slightly more lively atmosphere of Paris is contrasted with a dull, blue look of the countryside where the refugees reside.
