Uuquchiing

a film by Kévin Noguès

SYNOPSIS

Camille has faded away from his own life. Days are followed by other days in a metronomic tempo, between his work in a factory and the regular visits at his grandparents’.
One evening, while he’s having diner at their place, he is thrown a few hours later in his own future, without recalling anything. Hours he actually lived, according to his entourage.

He then gets himself into a professional Master’s 2 degree at the University Denis Diderot in Paris, studying Documentary Films.
