L'Esprit de famille
Directed by Éric Besnard
Produced by Same Player, Cine Nomine
A darkly comedic family satire that uses a father's ghostly return to explore grief, eccentricity, and the chaos of family bonds.
A writer must face the sudden death of his father, but after the burial, the latter reappears to him. He will have to learn to live with this facetious companion, but difficult to explain the situation to his family, because he is the only one who can see him. This disturbing presence will create an earthquake in the family.
