Her Dream

Based on the legend of Blue Beard written by French author Charles Perrault (1628-1703), in this film adaptation however, neither the original blood nor the original murder make an appearance. These elements are replaced by a poetic research on the awareness of the death of the murderer Bluebeard and the dead women are replaced by mannequins, sometimes dragged, pushed or transported; other times, they seem to take on a life of their own.

The little orphan-girl who survived a harsh life and finally became the sculptor-poet Miriam Chalfi - refuses to let me, her daughter, make a film about her. I finally crack the taboo - and during 24 years of work the film tries to decipher the riddle of the Hidden Fountain.
