diarchy

 

Giano and Luc barely know each other; they are traveling together when a sudden thunderstorm forces them to seek refuge in Luc’s villa. Their initial embarrassment wears off and they wrestle with each other, but the game takes a tragic turn when Luc loses consciousness. Giano is panic-stricken; he can’t tell if Luc is still alive. Luc’s sister enters the house but ignores him. Taking advantage of the size of the house, Giano sneaks Luc’s inert body back to the car and toward the forest they had driven through.

 

“In making this film I tried to portray how a feeling of repression can be broken down by the strong tension that is created between two people. One lives his life in a way he thinks is right and his personality is blocked by insecurity. The other is more vehement and follows his passions. Their differences and the tension that bind their spirits and bodies creates a short circuit. In the same way, these two characters are two parts of the same person, the super-ego (repressive) which clashes with the invincible ego.”
