Synopsis

Four moments in the lives of four female characters. A little country girl, caught up in a tragic game of hide-and-seek. A teenager runaway who bounces from man to man because anything is better than grim family life. A young woman who moves to Paris and has a brush with disaster. And finally an adult woman, who thought she was safe from her own past. Little by little, these characters form one and the same heroine.

Orpheline by Arnaud des Pallières

Marcel Proust avait sa théorie des « moi » successifs : les personnes différentes, étrangères les unes aux autres, que nous devenons, au cours de notre vie. Il y a une idée de cet ordre dans le pari d'Arnaud des Pallières : restituer les métamorphoses d'une femme en la faisant jouer, tour à tour, par quatre actrices.
