Off-Screen Field

Six strangers confront their uniquely 21st century anxieties with the help of a sorcerer in this playful performance art consciousness-bender-cum-ghost story about the search for meaning in the age of social media.

12th century: Cosme, a young monk runs away from his abbey to search for his father, whom he has never met. Meanwhile, he meets four “goliards”, young people trying to live at the present. With them, he will begin to walk on the path that leads to oneself…

A summer in the countryside. Guilhem and Anthony are trying to rig up their sound system for a party. Rosa is attempting to attract deer with a life-size sculpture. And the mayor's son is handing out prizes at the annual flea market...

During a languid and peaceful summer in the 17th century, six young women dream of love. Directly or indirectly, each of them will experiment with the delights and torments of romance–desire and rejection, idealized and consummated love... Nina and Eulalie are sisters who share a strong bond. Eulalie, the eldest, is waiting for the return of her fiancé, who has left to seek his fortune in the Americas, while Nina seems to have nothing to wait for. Through nine chapters, we follow the destiny of each of these young women as they are finally confronted with the reality of a world and an era in which being a woman means not being free. Nina and Eulalie weave their way through each of these stories as they endeavor to understand and perhaps escape the inevitability of their fate as women.
