La Couleur de l'esclavage

In this short film, in search of a cinematic grammar more in tune with Creole imaginary and oral tradition, we follow Ondine's quest. She returns to La Réunion after an absence of four years, because her Pépé, a local zarboutan, is dying. Just as she has to say goodbye, Ondine has a strange encounter in a pond.

March 1945, on the frontlines of the Tatra Mountains, Romanian and German soldiers prepare for battle, bound by the same hidden fear. In the chaos of combat, beyond bullets and grenades, a harsh truth emerges: in war, they are all just humans.

Yoshito Hiruma (31) (played by Amane Okayama), a part-time university lecturer, is forced to take care of his 10-year-old nephew, Kota, after being left in charge by his pregnant sister. However, before long, Kota disappears. When Yoshito finally manages to find him, he discovers that Kota has become disillusioned with reality and cryptically expresses his desire to “go somewhere else, anywhere but here.” Yoshito resonates with his words, and as their bond deepens, they delve further into Yoshito’s field of expertise—pessimism. Together, they embark on an unusual cohabitation, finding a peculiar sense of enjoyment in their shared pessimism. But eventually, the worst tragedy imaginable befalls each of them.
