Declaration
film director
“I wanted to make a film close to the characters, so that we could get inside their heads and take part in their misadventures. I wanted to vividly portray what the daily life of many young Parisians is like, but also show that the only thing that is inevitable are the dreams we impose on ourselves. This film is a transition to adulthood, to when you realise that reality and the present are more important than fantasies.”
