Description:
"Symphonie" artfully melds fact with fiction as it recounts the story of author Romain Schneid's personal struggle with claustrophobia during his childhood. Set against the backdrop of the German occupation, we follow Schneid's character who, at just twelve years old, is forced to conceal himself within a minuscule apartment for an extended period. In this deeply intimate and introspective drama, Schneid masterfully embodies each character on screen, blurring lines between reality and imagination.As the author, narrator, and sole actor, Schneid explores the complexities of memory and the human psyche by questioning whether his harrowing experiences truly transpired or were merely a product of his mind. The audience is left to ponder as well: Is this an account rooted in factual history or perhaps a delusion? By challenging our perceptions, "Symphonie" invites us into a compelling exploration of the human spirit's capacity for resilience and survival amidst adversity.
