Max is grieving his best friend's death on their childhood's playground, the lake of a quarry.

Director's note :

The point of "REGARDS" is to awaken the spectator's look on Max and Chloé's approach towards death, and its consequence; grief. "Regards", it is both a world visible, but also invisible: the off-screen. The union of both will fix the film in the audience's imaginary, re-enforcing the individual look each spectator has on this short-film.

A film, a world, a location: a quarry. A place unknown by most, with in mind the will to dedicate an entire role to it. Englobing for the most part the story of Max and Chloé, the quarry will be a timeless space where days and nights go by but all look alike, constantly putting the past and the present in conflict.

The quarry

Two characters that grow up and share each other's life, Max and Chloé, each confronted to grief thei own way, one stays in denial, and the other wants to forget too fast. Two tempers that will bond the story in a fluid and comprehensive manner.
