The films of Miryam Charles



Synopsis


A maid is suspected of murdering her former employer. Questioned by the police, she reveals the existence of a supernatural power.

A word from Tënk


A sinister music sets the tone. Twilight images of old building facades concealing a thousand mysteries flash before us. What secrets are hidden there? Which people live there, work there, dominate there? What dramas are played out there? What crimes are committed there?

 

Miryam Charles is inspired by her experience as a cleaning lady to write this story, which she relates to images shot several years earlier in Dresden, Germany. The result is an enigmatic experimental fiction questioning the reality of the facts, exile, power relations, assimilation and incommunicability. An absolutely fascinating occult dialogical work that will stay with you for a long time.
