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.

"I choose not to bring this into our home.” <br /> “Well it is in our home, isn’t it?” <br /> Newlyweds Jeremy and Norah have recently moved to Ashford, Kent, where they’re trying to start a family, guided by their friendly and punctual fertility app, Try-cycle. Norah, a teacher in a local school, is deeply immersed in the news and social media landscapes, finding validation and purpose through her online interactions. Meanwhile Jeremy, a doctor in a London hospital, yearns for a life less impacted by the plight of others, seeking technology to numb himself from modern day life through the dopamine hits of swipes and likes. <br /> As both local and international events take place with direct implications for the couple, Jeremy prefers not to know what is happening, choosing not to read the news at all. But Norah does, a lot. As Norah consumes more and more news, eventually, will it consume her? <br /> In a world more globally linked than ever, this thrilling psychological drama explores the role of empathy, where the couple's social media consumptions, communities and world views, differ drastically. A heartfelt exploration of love, loneliness and humanity, when we can't switch off in an “always-on” digital age.
