Fiction 12’30 

Le Tonneau des Danaïdes 

In the desert, a man is buried to his neck in the sand. One ignores the reason for his presence there. A woman, naked under red veils, walks away without paying any attention to him. After getting out of his sand cradle, he will head for the horizon to meet this woman. This is where his quest begins. A quest for desire.
