Tales from the Attic

Bastien needs to know the exact day of his death. He calls on the services from a strange laboratory that claims he should die the day after tomorrow from a food asphyxiation. Since his girlfriend inherited the art collection first of her grandmother, nothing is the same for Miriam. She is seized by irrepressible itching and this is only the beginning of his ordeal Barbara is a comic book author. One evening, she enters the small cupboard hidden behind his desk to discover a room hidden underneath the attic. This exploration will turn his daily life upside down. Each of the three chapters of Tales from the Attic take place in the same apartment, seventh and last floor of a Parisian building, over the course of three summers scorching. In these stories that give you goosebumps, love, often upset, always plays an important role. And, if the fear appears by manifestations of the supernatural, it also hides in the corners of our modern neuroses: depression, loneliness, obsession or anxiety. With their macabre tales, Elizabeth Holleville and Iris Pouy discuss the readings of their childhood, the tales of Perrault and Marcel Aymé, genre films, as much than American comics of the pre-comics code era.
