Le mal du siècle
Catherine Lepage
Canada (Quebec), Animation
A young woman tries to describe herself, presenting herself in an idyllic light: the one that is expected. The visual narration tells a very different story though, illustrating with poignant force the anxiety-provoking charge of hyper-performance and the pursuit of happiness. A film both funny and touching, and above everything, profoundly human.
