Bird People



Pascale Ferran : 2014

In the Paris airport zone, two strangers are trying to make sense of their lives. Audrey Camuzet, a young hotel chambermaid, is on her way to work at the Hilton at Charles-de-Gaulle airport, a job that allows her to continue her studies. Gary Newman, an American engineer, disembarks from his plane from California and settles into the same hotel before going to Paris for an important business meeting. All the while, Audrey pushes her trolley through the corridors and cleans rooms. But the following night, Gary who is under great professional and emotional pressure, has a panic attack and decides to give it all up, job and family. He settles his resignation with his business partners, confronts his wife, ending eighteen years of marriage, and moves into the hotel. As for Audrey, she continues to clean methodically, under pressure from the management, up until an extraordinary and life-altering phenomenon occurs which tips her into another dimension. Pascale Ferran's fourth feature premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at Festival de Cannes 2014.
