La Cigarette

• Watchlist

Four people sit around a white table with a young woman on it. A hand reaches out from behind the camera to light up a cigarette for the girl, which she briefly examines, smokes, and passes to the people sitting around her. They take turns in smelling and examining it. The girl lies down on the table with her eyes closed-the four people around the table look at her and speak amongst themselves. The girl is the medium for the viewer's projections of the stories and biographies that are imagined about her, setting off a narrative around the film where ideas and associations are mirrored in the gazes of the group.
