An intimate and psychedelic dive into 55 days of lockdown, where the director films her daily card readings and exchanges with friends and strangers. Between humor, madness, and a search for meaning, a unique journey into magical thinking and collective isolation.
This documentary is an intimate tale presented as a dizzying mashup where excerpts of personal conversations interact with psychedelic sequences.
Confined like millions of French people, the director, caught in a couple’s crisis, decides to film her daily card readings for 55 days along with the funny and profound conversations that emerge from this isolation.
In a kind of existential vertigo, she spends several weeks dialoguing with friends, artists, teachers, carnival workers, caregivers, psychologists, florists, and even vague acquaintances who appear through virtual conversations.
This encounter with oneself, mirrored in others, takes us to the edge of a sometimes painful introspection through Magical Thinking.
The meaning of this esoteric quest is at least twofold: to archive a burst of documentary madness and to seek, through both intimate and collective reflection, to give meaning back to these weeks of wandering and isolation.
