2024 · 17m
A short film taht takes place over a single day on a sailboat adrift at sea. With no script to rely on, two actors and a musician embark on a journey of improvisation, exploring the intricacies of their craft and their identities in a confined, isolated space. Guided by a director obsessed with uncovering "truth" in performance, the actors navigate the emotional demands of unscripted storytelling. As they delve deeper into their roles, subtle tensions and queer themes begin to surface, revealing the raw, unguarded aspects of their personalities. Shot entirely in black and white, Les Étoiles becomes a stripped-down exploration of the boundaries between artist, art, and authenticity.
