Shot on 16mm film, Brume de Temps tells a story of intimacy, nostalgia, and the fragile boundary between loving your perception of a person and love as it truly is. It unfolds as a journey through the quiet moments of a couple at ease with one another, enclosed in the bubble they have created. Their gestures are subtle, and the safe space surrounding them becomes part of their story.

Time intrudes through clocks, calendars, and digital displays, yet each object remains blank. Can this illusion endure where reality cannot be denied?
