Icarus

A film by Nicolas Boucart

category : Completed, Short Films

Synopsis

On a tiny island encircled by steep cliffs, a unique house stands alone facing the sea. Obsessed by the dream that, one day, man may be able to fly just like a bird, an inventor experiments with machines on this abandoned piece of land. For this man, only a pure, light and naive soul is capable of such a feat.

Recruited from the continent, 11-year-old Joseph seems to be the perfect candidate.
