Four mouvements in the life of three transcendental women and one enigma: the spell of fire.
Video triptych around the reappropriation of vision, the female gaze and the normalization of violence, resulting from the pyromane manifestation. A narrative in form of an enigma is created from the potential strangeness of things taken out of their context. Catarina will be a doctor soon; however, she participates every year in the parade for Our Lady of the Agony with her traditional clothes, as well as the other women of her family, in the town of Viana do Castelo, Portugal. The fireworks show ends each night of celebration of the saint protector of fishermen. Experimenting with the limits of risk, managing fear and learning to have confidence in one's team are the objectives of 50 young people who, for a week 80km from Paris, are trained in models of military training. They want to become stuntmen in the movies. However, the line between fact and fiction is blurred.
