Savina Dellicour : 2014
All Cats are Grey
Paul watches from afar as Dorothy grows up in a wealthy Brussels milieu. Paul is in his mid-40s, chronically lonely and working as a private investigator. Dorothy is almost sixteen. She is in the midst of a teenage life crisis which is compounded by frustration with her mother who won't tell her who her real father is. Paul is Dorothy's father. This is the secret that Paul returns to Brussels with as he begins to shadow his daughter. Most likely, the two of them would have never met, except for the fact that Dorothy contacted him in her search for her biological father. Paul enjoys the seemingly accidental chance to spend time with Dorothy. The young girl is interested in his job and his life in general and, quite naturally, her curiosity is partly sparked by her emerging sexuality. As the truth keeps getting concealed, repressed family secrets boil away under the surface. A film about the miracle of seeing a child grow up and the anxiety caused by early loss. Savina Dellicour's feature debut premiered at Montréal World Film Festival 2014, and had its European premiere in the Alice nella Città section at Rome Film Festival 2014.
