Provisional Infinity
Infini Provisoire is a fatalist love poem told to the person who will break our heart. We dive into an intense love story defined on the one hand by hope, the gift of oneself, the evidence of love, and on the other hand, disillusionment, disappointment, and the feeling of abandonment. The film, therefore, tends to emphasize the distress that we can feel when it is difficult to foresee a personal reconstruction after a breakup.
