Paris, My Little Body Is Very Tired of This Big World poster

Overview

Lunettes and Myope: two ways of resisting the world. Identical and opposites, face to face or, more often, back to back, in a small room in a timeless space. Twins and adversaries, these two girls make one: Lunettes uses her glasses to help her understand the world, or at least accept it; Myope can't see, except within herself, and lost in her blurred, but sharp, experience of the world, rebels continuously. Incited by Lunettes, Myope creates (in the same city and climate, but in another dimension) two characters: Pierrot and Agathe. To a certain degree, these two are a disjointed response to Myope, Lunettes, neighbors, and distant representatives. It's very hot. The inhabitants are interested in fountains and shadows. They build cool cabins, hanging curtains over the balcony balustrades. Asphalt sticks to the soles of sandals and when the wind blows, the canopies flap above the café terraces.

00:33:56 Right, I'm not even a foreigner anymore.
00:37:52 That will guide me.
00:42:07 We didn't ask her.
00:46:46 or the withered leaves of the green oaks
00:50:13 An eyelid that opens, your hand wiping your nose.
00:53:52 I was unemployed,
00:57:07 You smell good.
01:01:00 The right to conformity, submission, weakness.
01:03:53 You won't see me again soon.
01:09:35 These Andalousians, never a reasonable word.
01:12:29 The front of the East Sea. - Oh, east or west, now...
01:15:00 That's not normal, right Jérome?
01:21:48 It's not that I understand, but I know it.
01:27:28 I saw that aside from the habit of the human race
01:34:30 Has seen a lot, heard a lot, lived a lot, like everyone.
01:39:17 I love life.
