Daphné or the Lovely Specimen

2015 · 15 min · ★ 6.9 · Documentary, Animation

As any pretty plant, Daphne buds, opens, fills with fragrance and loses leaves. But is never allowed pick. Combining animation and continuous shooting, Daphne or the lovely specimen is a documentary painting the portrait of an unchaste and sensitive woman who speaks to us first about her body then about her heart. Without waffle.

Directed by Sylvain Derosne · Written by Sébastien Laudenbach
