Sonar
A film by Jean-Philippe Martin
category : Completed, Feature Films
Synopsis
Thomas, a sound engineer in his thirties, lives in his alcoholic boss Wyatt’s recording studio. Recluse in his sounds, he is inhabited by the memory of a love affair, and no longer does what interests him; sound portraits.
Seemingly to escape her own life, Amina, a bright young moroccan woman, obtrudes in his. She soon opens up to Thomas and becomes a dream subject for a portrait. Thomas is seduced. But in order to discover who Amina really is, Thomas will have to turn his microphone away from the french suburbs and towards Morocco – where he’ll have to relearn to listen once again.
