2022 - France/Belgique - Couleur - 62'
My friend Kirill Patou, thirty-five-years old, is looking for a soulmate but cannot find her. To experience the ideal romance, Kirill escapes into an imaginary life. He becomes, through his drawings, a valiant knight who declares his love for the princesses of his dreams. A confident rapper in his bedroom facing his hordes of loving fans. However, Kirill has Down's syndrome, and reality always shows him to be different. Throughout our discussions, I accompany my friend in his quest for love and ideality, despite his “bump in the heart”. In the presence of the director.
