The Figaro by OD:
The alchemy works in this trio of three different generations. We quickly become attached to the thwarted destiny of these characters filmed with empathy.

A perfect loop that probes the capacity of beings to dry their tears, to heal their wounds, without forgetting or regretting for whom and for what their heart beats.
