A film by Céline Dondénaz
Encouraged by his father and girlfriend, Hugo, a young talented guitarist, works hard on his audition to enter the Lausanne School of Music. But a few days before the due date, he is paralyzed by anguish. What if this musical career had never been his own wish?
Encouraged by his father and girlfriend, Hugo, a young talented guitarist, works hard on his audition to enter the Lausanne School of Music. But a few days before the due date, he is paralyzed by anguish. What if this musical career had never been his own wish?
"How can we build ourselves an identity if the people close to us can’t stop letting their expectations and their anguishes weigh on our shoulders? And how can we flourish if we eternally have, like Hugo, a fear of disappointing them? It’s the precise moment of awareness of a young man and his emancipation that I wanted to show in my film."
