The Weight of Emptiness (2011)
As a boy floats through the air, his mother struggles to keep him near. While the pair seek liberation from the dark clouds hovering above their heads, their power struggle stems from a lack of comprehension as to what defines them: is the boy her little angel as well as the cause of her grief? Alain Fournier creates an intricate, polished suspense that points to the necessity of being at peace.
