About the director

Théo Abadie was born in Lyon in 1997. After studying screenwriting at the first CinéFabrique class, he went into exile in Brussels, the city that inspired both a documentary and his first fiction short, Chico. At the same time, Enzo Lorenzo continues to work as a co-writer on short and feature-length projects. His travels through alternative circles inspire him to explore subjects such as precariousness, desire and violence, using marginal and eccentric characters.
