EN COUR(T)S DE ROUTE - L'AMOUR TOUT COURT

Go back

En Cour(t) de Route returns! In this second edition of the initiative, supported by the French and Flemish Communities, Dalton Distribution and Agence belge du court métrage are once again joining forces to present the most outstanding Flemish, Walloon and Brussels short films of recent years across the language border. The project will start in November 2023 and will include four Belgian short film programs to be admired throughout the country during the 2023-2024 season.
 
The first series is entirely devoted to love, that timeless theme we never tire of talking about. "L'amour tout court" includes four short films that highlight the many nuances of love: the longing for it, the search for it, the courage it takes and the insight that relationships can flourish in various forms.

The very tired man and the woman who passionately loved bonsai
Nyk Dekeyser, Evelien Declerq / 2022 / 23 min
When a woman responds to the curious advertisement "Man seeks woman to die for," it is the beginning of an extraordinary love story. The man is tired, dead tired. He wants to die, but he can't. While she tends her bonsai trees, she helps the man to die. Slowly, he grows closer to her and she shapes and cuts love.
