BURN OUT OU LA SERVITUDE VOLONTAIRE

After a short break from her job at a bank, Michelle is offered the chance to replace the old manager, who has gone on leave due to burnout. But Michelle is pretty close to that point herself. Her husband, Louis, is training to become a telephone technician, but is struggling to fix the system his company is working on in a hospital. The unexpected arrival of Michelle’s sister doesn’t help. Michel Jetté (Hochelaga, Histoire de pen) uses superimposition, textures, unusual lighting, transparency and distortion to capture his two protagonists’ inner fragility.
