Synopsis
His Excellency, the plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to the Belgian Crown sacrificed his entire life for his country. His dedication came with a price; he never really had time for me, his son. In admiration, I always longed to be like him. However, I feel like I am quite the opposite. I thus, decide to come to Brussels to try to make up for lost time.
Commentaire
A son, a father. The first holds a camera, the other is an ambassador. A great game of evasions where the son, by dint of (voluntarily) getting his feet wet, manages to draw a portrait of his father (and his own, as a result...). Sensitive and uncompromising, in the little game of who loses wins, the sprinkler ends up (fortunately!) being sprinkled...
