Volunteers hold funerals for unknown or forgotten deceased. Stella-Plage. On the beach, a phone booth is ringing. A young couple strolling by picks up the receiver. At the other end of the line, a mother is trying to reach her daughter.

                     The film starts with small electroacoustic shapes created by Jean-Marc Manteau, exploring the substance of breath, that of water as well as that of the act of walking. From then on, five small filmic shapes keep exploring these same elements surrounding my daughters as they stroll along the sea shore of Sète and Frontignan. "Dreams" spring from the impression of their bodies and faces.

                    Diane Wellington's town is recreated through footage and ancient photographs, and written by its inhabitants voices. They tell the stories of her disappearance and show her captive of her unsolvable past. The only revenge is a bird flying loudly to the sky. (Ágata C. Pinho)
