Ecorce

Documentary | Switzerland 2020 | 15:00 min

In a hidden place, the daily routine of a retirement home unfolds while time seems to stand still. The pencil-drawn residents come to life on the paper. Some are active, others rest or follow a fixed schedule that repeats itself every day: medication, meals, games.... Around them, machines flash, carers are busy and some crucifixes remind them of the death that awaits them. Time passes and a forest stretches nearby.
