Renaissance
Directed by Emmanuel Plasseraud
Mathis, a film student, answers an ad offering the possibility to do a documentary on Albina Mayer, an eccentric, aging actress. He is welcomed into her fabulous villa and meets Laura, her young renter. Mathis is instantly smitten by the young woman and senses he has the possibility to accomplish his dreams: doing the job he loves, earning enough money to buy the camera he’s longing for and finding love. Yet making the documentary proves to be far more difficult than imagined... Mathis must cope with the actress's capricious mood swings, Laura's strange submissiveness, and the sudden appearances of an enigmatic butler. Feeling oppressed by the disturbing atmosphere and troubled by his feelings for Laura, Mathis decides to go outside for a moment, only to realize he is trapped inside the villa…
