01/Synopsis

Three young people undergo a career guidance process with a counselor, who explores their blind spots and desires.

Young people wonder about their future careers. While the ambitions of some brim with visions of grandeur, for others horizons seems blurred and dizzying. In a series of sessions with a guidance counselor, they reveal their true selves.

02/Intentions

Director’s statement

With this film project, I’d like to cast my documentary eye over a singular period of life: early adulthood. I want to deal with this period of complex and sometimes contradictory emotions, when our aspirations and ideals collide with the implacable pragmatism of reality. It’s through the prism of the questions surrounding career choices that I hope to deal with young people seeking their place in society. Targeting young people between the ages of 16 and 25 from a variety of social backgrounds, the film aims to bear witness to their professional and personal questions. By means of counseling sessions with a guidance counselor and the staging of singular personality tests designed to bring out the protagonists’ deepest nature, I seek to create a context conducive to penetrating the intimacy and preoccupations of these young people in search of themselves. As part of this process, they will be asked to reveal how they see themselves, what they consider to be their strengths and weaknesses, their expectations and dizziness about their future life.
