I Had an Obvious Idea and I'm Waiting for It to Come Back
Between DIY and self-deprecation, Émilie Baillargeon humorously and sincerely documents the idleness that accompanies her new identity as a mother-artist. Each everyday object and gesture becomes play materials, driving imagination and inventiveness in this filmed diary and survival guide. Between performance and cinema, the filmmaker blurs the boundaries between documentary and fiction, putting herself on stage, driven by stubbornness and vulnerability. Filmed in a closed set, this intimate short reveals the cathartic and healing power of creation, offering a joyful and touching exploration of the fragility and resilience of body and mind.
