The Dreamer / L'Homme d'Argile
At almost 60 years of age, Raphaël (Raphaël Thiéry) has only one eye, is the caretaker of an uninhabited manor, and lives with his mother (Mireille Pitot) in a small bungalow at the entrance to this grand bourgeois estate. Between hunting moles, playing bagpipes, and going for drives in the postwoman’s car, the days go by ever unchanging. One stormy night, Garance (Emmanuelle Devos), heiress to the estate and a famous performance artist, returns to the family home. Intrigued by each other, he accepts her offer to create a sculpture of him, and a strange, enigmatic bond forms between the two.
