A diverse group of men, all of them close to a nervous breakdown, meet in the middle of a forest to take a group therapy. Supriseling, their monitor is Omega, a woman, who will do whatever it's necessary to restore their minds.

Men on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

Unmistakably French in its melancholy, this treatment of an apocalyptic subject (the film takes place after some kind of global disaster) takes La Jetée as its primary reference. Like Chris Marker, Félix Fattal builds a dynamic story from static images in Après nous, le déluge. The near-total lack of movement encourages the viewer to look into the texture of the imagery itself, lending it a haptic quality.
