Fotogenico
Cinema Forum Groningen
Nieuwe Markt 1, 9712KN Groningen GroningenA comedy with dramatic subtext illuminates the journey of a previously absent father to get to know his deceased daughter. A descent into Marseille's alternative techno scene, guided by a clownish protagonist.
Raoul is in mourning after the death of his daughter Agnès. A daughter he never knew well, as he was largely absent from her life. Now, guilt is present, which Raoul tries to compensate for by finding out more about who Agnès was and what she did in her life. He travels to Marseille; Agnès has given him a few clues: she supposedly attended a taekwondo school, was working at a language center, and a law firm; none of this turns out to be true. Instead, the clumsy, awkward, tragicomic Raoul encounters Agnès's real life, which unfolded in Marseille's techno scene and drug scene.
