Synopsis

Louis Trebor’s journey forms a loop, follows the shape of the earth’s roundness as I imagine it: From the French side of the Jura along the Swiss border, Geneva to Pusan in South Korea, right to Oceania. Louis Trebor lives hidden away. He feels spied upon. His body is solid, sensual, but his heart gives out. He puts everything into his new life with its new heart – a more beautiful and free life, without hiccoughs, regrets or dreams. On his way to the South, he escapes the threat haunting him, escapes a debt that he doesn’t want to pay off – he, a man who wants to buy everything.

Critics' reviews

"It’s a film worth seeing more than once, not because of its 'difficulty' but because it’s so vital and elastic that it offers up more secrets and epiphanies every time (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
