“Freedom to Be Alone” by Alexandre Laurent
Jade opens up through a poem, sharing her story of an intense relationship with a former lover, marked by a toxic hold fueled by stereotypes and the societal pressure to avoid being alone. Their breakup, far from being a tragic end, becomes a liberation a journey back to herself where solitude emerges as a soothing and healing remedy.
FROM THE DIRECTOR
“This is my very first real project as a director, a subject that has been close to my heart for a long time. I have had various experiences in life, which have led me to a certain clarity about energies.
In this short film, I tell the story through a poem about karmic bonds,using the image of a ball of yarn to symbolize these ties, interpreted with the sensitivity of a woman. I explore what can be resolved by emerging from these very powerful relationships.”
-Alexandre Laurent
