At the dawn of his brilliant career, the great filmmaker Peter Mettler delivers with this graduate short film, a harsh and uncompromising portrait of a former flamboyant comrade who has broken his shackles and now resides somewhere between total collapse and its periphery.

More than a punk and wild film, Mettler's exploratory and intuitive approach emerges here in the crevices of Lancalot's enraged speech, a lonely and disenfranchised soul.

Through a singular attention to the soundscape, to the breaks in scale between the smallest significant details, and the insolent immediacy of a camera that examines the space and the faces, the filmmaker builds an immersive and searing work, plunging into the essence of a rebellious character and his strenuous daily life, far from the well-trodden paths.
