Traverser la nuit

Overview / Aperçu

A national road not very transient, a hotel on probation, a road restaurant from another time. A young woman, Daphne, drives through these desert landscapes. It’s nighttime. She meets people who seem to know her without being able to give her a name. Who is Daphne? Could it be a ghost who came to walk in the footsteps of her past? 

Une nationale peu passagère, un hôtel en sursis, un routier d’un autre temps. Une jeune femme, Daphné, traverse en voiture ces paysages désertiques. C’est la nuit. Elle croise sur son chemin des personnes qui semblent la connaître sans pouvoir lui donner de nom. Qui est Daphné ? Serait-ce une revenante venue marcher sur les traces de son passé?
