Carmen asleep, Carmen awake

In the torpor of a summer afternoon crushed by sunlight, falsely deserted spaces are revealed. From one close-up to the next, these sketches seem to haunt the city as much as to inhabit the dreams of the character who lives at the heart of the film: Mr. Tang, in his small neighborhood shop.

An inevitable march, an exodus or an exile. A town that is abandoned and remembered. On the way, perhaps, there is an end.

On another day, a group of policemen guard the outskirts of a city. There is no one else on the streets. They wait for an order to go into action. However, that order never comes and a state of confusion and disorientation begins to take hold of them, until they forget what they were doing there.
