Synopsis

Raphaël only has one eye. He's the janitor of a manor house where nobody lives anymore. At almost 60, he lives with his mother in a small bungalow at the entrance to the large bourgeois estate. Between hunting moles, playing bagpipes and taking turns in the postwoman's Kangoo, the days follow one another. One stormy night, Garance, the heiress, returns to the family home. Nothing will ever be the same again.

About

Anais Tellenne

Anaïs Tellenne is a screenwriter and director. Trained as a dancer and actress, she began her career as a film, television and theater actress. It was while working on these different sets that she developed a keen interest in writing and directing. In 2016, she wrote and directed her first short film 19 JUIN (France 2).
While casting this film she met Raphaël Thiéry, to whom she confie the lead role in her second short film “Le mal bleu” (Arte), co-directed with Zoran Boukherma. After shooting her last short film “Modern Jazz” (France 2), she was selected for the annual Groupe Ouest selection, where she wrote the screenplay for her first feature film “L'homme d'argile”, which she shot a year and a half later in Burgundy with Raphaël Thiéry and Emmanuelle Devos in the lead roles. The film made its world premiere in official competition at the 80th Venice Film Festival. Released in cinemas on January 24, 2024, “L'homme d'argile” was very well received by critics and audiences alike, and won awards at several international festivals (India, South Korea, Germany, Argentina...).
Meanwhile, since 2020, Anaïs has been co-writing Louise Hémon's feature film “L'engloutie”, currently in post-production. In 2024, Anaïs will be writing her second feature film.
