LA RÉSISTANCE DE L'AIR

LA RESISTANCE DE L'AIR
by Frédéric Grivois
Country: France, Belgium
Year: 2015
Duration: 98'


Vincent is a rifle shooting champion; he lives a tranquil life with his wife and daughter. Everything seems to be following the canons of a normal existence when economic problems force him to rethink his plans and endanger the family equilibrium. One day, at the rifle range, Vincent meets Renaud, a very charismatic but rather enigmatic person, who suggests a particular contract as a way out of his problems. From that moment on, Vincent is caught up in a dangerous mechanism.

Declaration

film director

“The film is above all the story of a man who thinks he can wear a suit that’s too big for him and convinces himself that could live another life: not through moral strength but, in any case, an alternative. A different life from the one he’s living because of social expectations and his education, pressures we are all subject to. Vincent thinks he can escape from this constant tension that says he has to have a family, a nice house and always more material goods.”
