A Feather Tale

19925 min 29 secFilm: Animation

Direction: Michèle Cournoyer

Production: Yves Leduc

Script: Michèle Cournoyer

Taking on her lover's fantasies, a woman adorns herself in her finest feathers and assumes a seductive but demeaning role. Caught up in his own game, the man plays on to the bitter end--a cruel game in which love is stripped of its golden glow, leaving only the naked reality of dependency and desperation. Film without words.
