Christophe Lamotte : 2014
Missing in winter
Daniel is a former police officer turned debt collector who, in his late fifties, goes about his "dirty job" without emotion or affect. One winter's day, on a roadside parking lot, he is approached by Laura, an 18-year-old girl who asks him to drive her home. He accepts. On the way, she offers him "her services" in exchange for money. Furious, Daniel throws her out of the car. Remorse, and the violence of his reaction, force him to turn around and retrace his steps, but Laura has disappeared. The next day, Daniel visits Mme Savielli to recover another debt payment. But now, the old lady is worried. Her granddaughter, with whom she lives, went missing two days ago. Daniel then recognises Laura in a photograph, and terribly troubled, offers to help the old lady. By engaging body and soul in an obsessive investigation, Daniel's decision will change his life. A dark drama of a man's confrontation with his inner demons. Christophe Lamotte's feature premiered in competition at Festival du Film de la Réunion 2014.
