For its 36th edition, FIDMarseille remains true to its mission: to spotlight independent cinema that is attentive to the echoes of the contemporary world and to the stories that reveal its fractures, both intimate and collective.

Considering his life a failure, a man records a video message for his loved ones. He then attempts to shoot himself in the head. But he fails. Gabriel Spahiu, a faithful actor, is alone in front of the camera in a gory, staggering one-hour sequence.
