Antifonctionnelle, 12min.
Directed by Léonie Savard
Five strangers, in the mind of a young woman, are mysteriously brought together, all tasked with judging... a simple earworm. Their only scale of judgment? 10/10. No other score is allowed. Within the walls of a multifaceted prison, these unlikely judges struggle with their own obsessions, desires for approval, and fears of failure. Their quest? To achieve nearly perfect music. In this third film of the "Anti" trilogy, Léonie Savard offers a quirky and humorous exploration of human flaws: the absurdity of social expectations, performance anxiety, and the incessant pursuit of validation.
