Valerie Bäuerlein

In Japan, the term 'hikikomori' designates people who isolate themselves from society. Nanako, aged 24, joins in the activities of an organisation that helps withdrawn young people to reintegrate. Valerie Bäuerlein follows the path of the young woman as she regains confidence in herself.

Marine, a young painter, creates nothing but reproductions in Pont-Aven, France, where Gauguin once lived and worked. During one day, she paints, sells, drifts through town regarding places and people like tableaus. Different expectations are faced towards her but the film's circular structure leads her to a new morning which might change her routine.
