Lost in his nightmare, Thierry the lighthouse keeper gloomily watches the jellyfish as they float past his window... It has been many years since his lighthouse sunk under the ocean.

Lucie falls asleep. Thierry sleeps fitfully.
They are to meet on the beach of their dreams...

Animation, real images

« I wanted to make a "dream-film" », explains Félicie HAYMOZ about her first film.
After having designed the characters for features films MAX & Co and FANTASTIC Mr FOX, the young illustrator who studied at the Brussels Academy of Fine Art, whised to create her own universe.

The film thus combines animation with real images, with superimposed effects to build a complete universe, that, while it may not be realistic, is highly poetic and developed with the same minute details as her characters.

This journey into an imaginary world using traditional animation techniques and inventive retouching of images is accompanied by a music composed by Philippe TASQUIN.
