Zugzwang
Gaëtan Chataigner
This film is part of Naël Jammal’s Carte Blanche
Five young men tirelessly try to escape from a “moving” setting that seeks to engulf them. The Galactik Ensemble thwarts all the traps set for them and plays with our fears with humour and mischief, to highlight the discipline of situational acrobatics: the direct relationship between a rugged environment and man’s ability to adjust to it.
