EMERGENCY EXITby

Synopsis

An actress revisiting her career (Marisa Paredes), a disoriented anthropologist (Naomi Kawase), and two legendary divas (Arielle Dombasle / Myriam Mézières) travel with other strangers in a mysterious vehicle from which they cannot easily get off. Along the way, they fable about their identity while Desire,

Eros, incarnates to seduce them all.
A liminal journey between life and death, dream and reality,
in which the phenomenological is never a closed reality. A road movie in the spirit of Cortázar, the Tibetan Bardo and Jules Cotard.
The film blends visual art, literature and music, drawing inspiration from expressionism, symbolism and Latin American magical realism. It weaves together diverse traditions, echoing the cinema of the 1970s in its forms and atmospheres.
