Synopsis
Magda, 65, just lost her husband, Jean-Pierre. As time goes by, she reconnects with forgotten pleasures, reinvents herself… Until the day Jean-Pierre resurrects, happily expecting his eggs and bacon for breakfast! Magda quickly realizes that she was happier when Jean-Pierre was dead.
Director’s vision
It is a film about the end of love between a man and a woman. The ambivalent Belladonna symbolizes love as a poison and love as a remedy. The garden is a metaphor of the main character’s evolution. I would like to direct a joyful and cruel comedy with tragic roots; a flowery film in which lovely flowers also turn out to be deadly.
