Mon Plaisir (Short film)
A personal and delicate story, following the everyday existence of a married couple stuck in a routine and looking for changes.
Q and Carl are a married couple in their 30-40s, and their movements and actions have become predictable, repetitive and comfortable. When Q tries to wrap her head around her husband's nonchalance and lack of caring and sensitivity, she decides to sign them both up for a new experience- being extras on a film set. Through pretending to be other people, the couple manages to communicate for the first time in a while, but when the cameras turn off, their routine sinks back in.
Mon Plaisir is based on a short story by Miranda July.
Q is tired and desperate. She is a woman who lets things happen to her rather than her actively doing things. She can get excited and then think she’s ridiculous for getting excited. She experiences moments of very deep explicit sadness, but she’s mostly passive. The film is through her, she is a vessel. And even though she has moments of building herself up and does have an inner strength, she is mostly quiet.
