A short film by Jules-Emile Vanhalle
A Story of Time – Saturation
What is left of the present when everything speeds up?
In post-production. Release planned between late 2026 and early 2027.
Synopsis
A Story of Time follows Alexandre from childhood to adulthood and explores how his perception of time changes. From a calm, contemplative world, he tips into an adult life saturated with stimuli, speed and information. Two key encounters — a philosophy teacher and a free, spontaneous woman — upend the way he lives the present. Through narration, dance and sensory staging, the film questions our relationship with time, attention and presence.
