“We are not born a man, we become one”, such is the mantra of the film “Almost” which puts Alexandre Jollien in front of the camera for the first time. The latter developed with Bernard Campan a friendship that has lasted for many years now. Making a film together could have been risky, but like in life, they were complementary.
There is nothing fatal in life. We can get by thanks to others
“Almost” tells the story of 2 men. The first Louis, played by Bernard Campan, is the director of a funeral home. A hardened bachelor, at 58 he devoted himself entirely to his profession. The second, played by Alexandre Jollien, is called Igor. Cerebral palsy (CMI) is a sharp mind in a disabled body. At 40, he delivers organic vegetables on his tricycle.
One day, they take the road, from Lausanne to the south of France, in a hearse. They know each other little, have little in common, or so they think…
A film that helps us accept the gaze of others
