In the near future, Paul, the CEO of a petrochemical group, has taken refuge with his daughter, Ami, in his luxury bunker. This man, enhanced by neural implants, continues to run his business remotely from there. Everything begins to unravel when Ami withdraws into silence. Language fractures, caught between speech and silence: Paul drifts in a stream dictated by the machine, whilst Ami responds through her body. Somewhere between science fiction and family drama, Marion Siéfert explores what remains when words are no longer enough, in a paranoid chamber piece.
