Jolicoeur Touriste
An enclosed space, a struggle against the constraints of personal isolation explored through a fractured narrative. A man living in a broken down rented room in a Tourist Inn travels through his drunkenness, his memories and his fantasies, transcending the limits of time and space which suddenly intertwine. A film about loss and absence.
