Synopsis : Nothing lasts in this cruel world, not even our suffering. A powerful documentary that raises the vital issue of raising awareness and understanding of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Two life stories and a free voice on trauma and suicidal behaviour. Christophe, a police officer, and Sébastien, a soldier, give us their personal accounts, enlightened by psychiatrist Christophe Debien. They confide in us openly and generously, because their words hold the keys to remanence.
It's a subject that is currently poorly covered and/or skimmed over, or even taboo. In fact, the media don't give it much coverage. Often it's all about the consequences and very little about the causes. Statistical data showing figures for police suicides in France, for example, are still very high and have been for over 25 years. The police commit 45 suicides a year, or 41% more than the French working population... almost 1 suicide a week... It's staggering, but hardly anyone talks about it... or if they do, it's often negative and sensational. My personal journey began with reportage photography, then fashion photography, and ended in film. cinematography. Since then, I've worked mainly as a director of photography, and I'm always inspired by reality in terms of light to create the frame. The emergence of beauty... This emotion often lies in the vibration of natural light... Let's create the the conditions for the accident that will allow it to reveal itself to us. To do this, let's use the camera with our hearts. It is here as a silent witness, listening, in a luminous and warm universe. It arranges the testimony with gentleness and compassion to capture the emotion without artifice, She uses lenses that are close to the human eye, so that she can listen and allow the viewer to see, listen and understand. Here, the camera doesn't respond. It doesn't ask stupid or penetrating questions. The camera : - creates an atmosphere - creates beauty - captures the essence of the moment - defines the character - explains the situation - tells the story - Here she is like the 2nd character, listening to the first without judgement but with gentleness and integrity. - She gives the viewer access to an understanding of the subject, to compassion and resilience, to happiness regained. I'm not into sensationalism, which would be so easy in this case and has been done many times before. many times. There's no need for copies. So let's be Papageno and avoid the Werther effect.
