Looking for Medora
Synopsis
A young director, frustrated on both a creative and emotional level, organizes his old photos and is suddenly struck by an involuntary flashback: in this memory of the sea, associated with a mysterious and harmonious song, he relives his attempt as a boy to sublimate the pain of his childhood. Discovering within himself a radiant image of his mother as a young woman, he perceives for the first time that she was, in her own way, happy. The bright part of his past finally reemerges and he can, perhaps, really start to live again.
