Je crois entendre encore (I hear it still)

Ada, a 14-year-old girl, helplessly watches her father’s slow agony as he battles a serious illness. She is sent to Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef, a seaside resort in western France. On the beach, while stung by a wasp, Ada feels her body change and her desire awaken.

I wanted to capture time on a delay — that strange gap between when something happens and when we actually feel it. There’s always some kind of lag. Emotions don’t line up right away.
Anxiety shifts, responses become blurred. Death doesn’t always match mourning. That idea of grief as a single, contained period devoted only to sadness — I wanted to push against that. For me, it’s not just about the moment of loss, but how the life that follows gets punctured. I’m interested in those little holes. Death brings with it a kind of vague time. It disconnects us from ourselves, breaking the usual flow of things. And I wanted to show how that blurry time clashes with its opposite: the sharp, urgent, restless energy of teenage girlhood.
