Pierre Christin is a well-known Parisian artist, painter and sculptor, who after working most of his life in Japan, now leads a slow, meditative existence in his apartment/atelier on a balcony overlooking the Seine.

The arrival in Paris of a young aspiring filmmaker, full of uncertainty about the future, is the premise for a chance meeting between the two of them along the banks of the river. A reflection on the meaning of art and what it means to be an artist nowadays. A confrontation between two generations so distant, yet so close. A story of friendship of which a weeping willow tree remains the silent guardian.

Submitter Statement

Born in Ischia in August 1990, Boris Molinaro has been passionate about cinema from a young age. During his teenage years in Ischia and Naples, he also pursued theater, enriching his artistic foundation. He studied screenwriting and directing at the Pigrecoemme School of cinema and Photography in Naples and completed a course in cinematic writing at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome under the guidance of Sergio Pierattini. In 2023, he graduated from the Atelier Varan in Paris with a short documentary titled "Une Personne, portrait d'une amitié", created as school project. His first short documentary, "Frammenti", was selected for the "Scenari Campani" section of the Ischia Film Festival in 2021. "The Heirs of Fire", his first fiction movie, features actors such Emanuel Pascale and renowned talents Gianfranco Gallo and Cloris Brosca (as narrator). Produced with the support of WWF Italia, the movie explores powerful environmental themes.
