Grand Ciel

Vincent works the night shift on the construction site of a futuristic district. When a worker goes missing, Vincent and his colleagues begin to suspect that their superiors are covering up an accident. But soon, another worker disappears.

How can job precarity and societal pressure insidiously warp a person’s body and mind, to the point of destroying all sense of solidarity, trust and comradeship? This question lies at the heart of Grand Ciel. Through Vincent — a temp construction worker, terrified of social downgrading — the film explores how self-interest slowly supplants the common good.
Gradually, the shift begins to contaminate even Vincent’s home life. Relationships fray, worn down by his fear of failure. Vincent lives under a constant, genuine, almost palpable threat: in a ruthless economic system, in a silent war, each worker must fight to protect their patch.
And then there is the more silent threat, like an echo in the bowels of the construction site: a concrete labyrinth where neon lights hollow out cadaverous faces, where silence constricts the throat and asphyxiates the mind. That omnipresent concrete, cold and mineral, whose floating dust, like a relentless toxic fog, seeps into every crack, threatening to engulf you — while the giant construction site keeps growing and growing, at all costs.
