Synopsis
Terribly disappointed by his recent trip to the USA for which he had too great expectations, Daniel, back in Switzerland, finds his daily life waiting for him. As he’s slowly drowning in depression, one day appears before him a cowboy who’ll give him a mission: to steal his dream car, a Chevy El Camino.
Commentaire de l'étudiant
Through this project, I wanted to dip my toe in comedy while using references to genre films and their codes. I wanted to do it through still shots and a lack of movement to install how static his life is.
