Project 
Anouk, Alex, Luca et les autres is a feature-length screenplay about three young Europeans: a Frenchwoman, a Greek and an Italian, all of whom are struck down by reality in their own way and in their own countries. Their bodies are washed up on the beach of a supernatural island. Their bodies are recovered by polyglot people and transported to the bedroom of a strange house. Anouk, Alex and Luca wake up mute, with only a balcony giving them access to the outside world. Through the landscapes they see from this vantage point, their supervisors confront them with violent ordeals that lead them to rediscover what each choice can mean, for themselves and for others. Little by little, they gain the ability to understand and speak the language of anyone they meet on the island. They come to understand that this house is filled with people who have gone through the same trials as they have, and that they themselves will become framers. An army is being formed, and living in this house is like signing a pact, building a monument to the dead, past and future. It remains to be seen whether they will be able to recognize what is staged, or harsh reality.
