  AN EYE TO EYE MEETING / video

Maria dressed in baggy trousers and a flower/power top from a second hand store, sits opposite a greylooking man. They sit at a restaurant table. An almost empty room.
He smokes french cigarettes, looks through a portfolio of still images. The images are of Maria, stills from fashion sessions.

MARIA : Everybody says I look like her. Like nothing have changed over thirty years.

PHOTOGRAPHER : You want to work with me ? Or you want her story ?

MARIA: I want to know what happened to her. Why she gave up her modelling career.

PHOTOGRAPHER : It was a tragedy ... a real tragedy. She never came back after the Eiffel incident.

MARIA: Tell me more ...

 

 
EIFFEL IMAGES /stills

A series of postcards showing the Eiffel Tower from different angels.

A sequence of images on a models eyes. Heavy black mascara.

The images of Maria are made with the same coloring as the postcards. Soft and inviting.
