Project Detail

L'Histoire de nos Petites Morts

Synopsis

One evening, Philippe, a banker, and Marguerite, a prostitute, meet in Geneva’s Red Light district and take a hotel room.
So begins a night that will take them to new emotional terrain, question their values, needs and desires, before finally testing a marriage to breaking point.
As truths are told and hopes and fears shared, it becomes clear the only way forward for them is to find the courage to shed their masks and stand before one another truly naked.
After years of dying a thousand little deaths, this single night is a true test of love, compassion and hope.
