At work

A famous photographer suddenly abandons his career to devote himself to writing, only to be confronted with poverty and instability. Forced to adapt, he must find the strength to persevere without giving up his dream. Valérie Donzelli portrays the writer’s life with empathy and realism, adapting Franck Courtès’ novel into a reflection on artistic precarity and the struggle for creative freedom. The film expands this personal story into a broader portrait of economic fragility, forming a moving essay on sacrifice that premiered in competition at the Venice Film Festival.
