Quebec's Health And Social Services Ministry Delivers A Cautionary Tale About Mental Health

Jan. 24, 2022

Collaborating with Cossette Quebec, Director Olivier Staub and production house les enfants put together a surreal story of Kubrickian proportions about isolation and solitude in today's climate.

Anyone can eventually be affected and lean towards a monotonous life on auto-pilot, a painful state of mind that is utterly invisible to others… unless spoken of.

Through powerful and poetic metaphor, Staub assembles frames crafted with usual suspect Jonathan Decoste on cinematography to create a depth of field and distance with our protagonist, accentuating the loneliness and loss in thought.

Complemented with keen and symmetric production design as well as an ethereal soundscape that is half-dream, half-nightmare like, the spot takes us on a daily loop that may just be broken if we open up.
