I'm currently a graduate student in philosphy. Rosa's story is partially based on my personal experience. It originated from reflections on notions of consent and individual right in the context of psychiatric care. A patient, if considered 'a danger for himself or others' can be held against his will for an undertermined amount of time, kept away from his loved ones, forced to take unwanted medication, and even physically restrained if necessary.

Rosa tells the story of a conflict in between a patient's legitimate desire to be free, or at least treated humanly, and the consciencious caution of a bureaucratic well-intentionned physician. A trusting relationship emerges from this unfriendly situation in between the two characters, notwithstanding the inevitable ambiguities of a power relationship.

This film marks my first screenplay brought to the screen.

Born in 1992 of a business teacher mother and orthodontist father, both great sportspeople, the elder of three had a fertile imagination and constantly reinvented the world surrounding him. Today, his efforts are concentrated on the development of a new cinema, as much in front of the camera as behind it, be it as director, screenwriter, or producer, with an occasional passage in the world of music. Three Days Till Marrakesh, completed in December 2018, is his professional directorial debut. The short film Rosa, scheduled for 2020, will be his second fiction piece.
