MIMI DE DOUARNENEZ

Mimi has always lived in Douarnenez (Brittany), near her friends and her widowed father. She is a simple young woman who takes life as it comes, even if sometimes life puts obstacles in her way. She works at the cinema Le Club. She was not supposed to, but tonight she has to welcome a young depressive director Gaspard Kermarec. He happens to come from the same town as her, and his film happens to be as depressing as himself.

After studying at Le Fresnoy and Les Beaux-Arts, Sébastien Betbeder directed several short films, followed by his first feature film « Nuage » in 2004. Since then, he keeps switching formats from shorts to long features, like with « 2 autumns, 3 winters » , « Inupiluk » for which he won the Jean Vigo Prize in 2014, « Journey to Greenland » and « Thick and Thin ».
He also writes fictions for the French radio France Culture, directs video clips and tv programs such as Blow up for Arte.
