Raphaël is an actor. For the first time, he has the lead role in a feature film. No one understands why he was chosen. In fact, no one really understands him.
L'Acteur
In a rural world with an unreal aura, a group of disillusioned youths wanders, left to their own devices. Between raw landscapes and hazy atmospheres, the Wynona music video paints a hypnotic universe where boredom becomes a ritual, rebellion a whisper, and eroticism a lingering tension. Between drifting and transgression, the camera captures the essence of a youth in search of sensations, frozen in a setting that is both familiar and strange.
