Braille is based on images of children's gestures, primitive and undetermined, for which we know neither the vocabulary, the origin or the rhythm... The frame for Braille and its vocabulary stems from these filmed images. Two protagonists act as two timeless characters.
The child's gesture, imitated by the adults, makes us laugh, while a third protagonist watches, accompanies and comes into play. Like in a silent film, the sequences follow each other and stubbornly deconstruct a false story that tries to run a thread through each scene. Braille attempts an idiom and in doing so abandons all attempt at intelligence.
