that looking forward is harder than looking back, and that’s where
life happens. But they are stuck, until an accidental friendship with
a V8 driving Transsexual unlocks the means for Jesse to liberate his
father and himself. |

The house groans and the wind is whispering. Outside, dawn breaks and
leaves rustle in the first light. The worlds of two women collide.
Their encounter sets the air in motion and lets nature speak.
Danser sa vie is a visual narrative, a search for slowness away from
solitude. A poetic dance in time and space that reveals traces of
beauty beyond words. What speaks up if silence takes hold?
