In quiet little parts of the world, quiet little missions take place for the sake of global safety. Now one of these missions has gone wrong! This is the harrowing tale of an early adventure of the "i-team" - the special ops force that destroyed the udd base and ultimately turned the tide of the great udd war.

This was for the Super 8 postcode project from many years ago. It took many years to get around to finishing because this is the Darwin way. Pinry started making it, then it got a bit hot so she had to return indoors and leave
me to finish it.

Abstract view of the narrative, presented as the mind's eye which is not neccessarily the reality of the situation. The film is based on the idea that when you are dying, one happy moment plays before your eyes.

The 21st of April 2002 was the day of the first round of the presidential elections. The two candidates chosen by french people for the 2nd round were right wing Jacques Chirac, and fascist, homophobe and racist Jean-Marie Le Pen. When the results were announced, I was overwhelmed by so many emotions; where I had lived, what I had done, and above all, what I had not done, and how I too was responsible for this outcome - an irretrievable turning point. One of those very few moments when one feels that one is really living history. But unfortunately, history at its blackest. The film tries to answer those moments - my answer to the deep existential crisis that I then went through: how to keep on going, how to fight, how to exist as an artist today, how to (simply)Š.
