Three women separately inhabit an expansive sterile space, captured in close-up, fragmented, in a state of contemplative gaze. The routine of street life plays out just beyond a window. Compelled by a voice-over, the viewer is directed through a series of intimate moments in which the narrator superimposes an account of immobilizing drudgery. It's a story that neither begins nor ends - never climaxing - housed in a place with neither entrance nor way out.

Trois femmes habitent séparément un espace vaste et stérile. Elles sont capturées en plan rapproché dans un état de contemplation, leurs corps découpés par le cadrage. Sous leurs yeux désabusés, la vie monotone et routinière de la rue défile, dehors, par la fenêtre. Une voix-off dirige le spectateur dans une série de scénarios intimes décrivant un quotidien annihilant. C’est une histoire linéaire, sans apogée, qui ne possède ni début ni fin, située dans un lieu sans entrée ni sortie.

Available in French or French with English Subtitles.
