Bottleneck

Bottleneck can be translated into French as goulet d’étranglement, an expression that defines both a difficult passage and the stage of an impeded process.

This word is the starting point for this hushed choral tale, sprinkled with road-movie, atmospheric thriller and more everyday anecdotes. Stretching over the course of a day and a night, the anticipation of a great event, the nature of which is not revealed, begins and a kind of unspeakable tension builds. Each strange character traces his or her path through chance encounters and interactions, drawing us inevitably towards the abyss whose vanishing point we cannot discern. But it’s there, elegantly colored and surprisingly cut, fragile and mysterious.
