Horizon

Pierre Lan, Pierre-Gabriel Jaffres
France / 2024 / 0:24:40

Horizon is the advanture of a man who explores his imagination in search of the inner fulfillment of his being. A poetic fresco is revealed before our eyes, where we follow the walk of an explorer who crosses and gets lost in sumptuous natural landscapes with sublime aesthetics. In the middle of long virgin sand dunes, majestic snow-capped mountains, passing through peaceful seabeds, or even industrial zones where vegetation is gradually regaining its rights, Horizon is a beautiful meditation on solitude, creation, and questions man's place in nature, his weaknesses, his heroism. To make this film, Pierre Lan and Pïerre-Gabriel Jaffres returned to the natural places dear to their childhood in southwest of France. They wanted to question the relationship of their being to the territory where they had grown up. More than a simple int rospective approach, this adventure actually led them to rethink their relationship with the environment, nature and living things. But beyond these questions, Horizon is a film which appeals more to our sensitive than intelligible part, and invites the spectator to indulge in a captivating contemplation.
