Vivian Goffette : 2013
Christian lives a largely featureless life as a country vet. Married and childless, he and his wife have set up a small aid-to-Africa charity organisation and he serves as its president. But that isn't enough to fill the monotony of his existence. So Christian spends his idle hours surfing the web. On the internet he invents a second persona and flirts with a young African woman in search of a better life. Just idle flirting. Then, one day, Faustine, a 26-year-old from Burkina Faso, shows up at his consulting room. "I have no papers," she tells him. "But you promised to marry me." This forces Christian to embrace a certain spirit of improvisation and a radical rethinking of his lifestyle. Vivian Goffette's feature debut premiered at Montréal World Film Festival 2013.
