At night, in a forest, a young man describes the images of a film
we hear but don’t see: The Birds of Alfred Hitchcock. Haunted
by this modern story tale where a man and a woman fall in love in
a supernatural context, the forest comes alive little by little. On the set,
the script girl is taking part of the film, connecting singular links where
the sound track’s story of Hitchcock and the visual and silent story
of the man and the script girl are intertwining.
“This film is inspired by the audio vision system, where a voice
over describe images for blind people who wants to watch films.”
