Fascinated with utter idiosyncrasies, Geslin follows up on his 2004 portrait of surrealist photographer Pierre Molinier by applying the same empathy to explore the life and work of Joë Bousquet. Paralyzed by an injury to his spine, Joë Bousquet guides us like a man who lost his way and marches with his eyes closed, terrified of his own nightmare.
