Le Pier

Le Pier presents a profound exploration of childhood through the lens of memory and emotional trauma. The film centers on a little girl whose life is impacted by her father's departure, capturing the essence of her experience as she grows into adulthood, feeling stuck in the past.

Using a combination of personal footage and family archives from the 1940s, the documentary is shot on a beach in Old Orchard, Maine. The filmmaker transforms characters from the past into present-day actors, blurring the lines between memory and reality. This unique approach creates a cinematic essay that invites reflection on the nature of memory and loss.
