Irlande cahier bleu + Q&A [LAST SCREENING]

February 18th screening with filmmaker Olivier Godin in attendance

Ducarmel (Emery Habwineza) is an anachronistic firefighter, a quotidian poet, and an expert soup-maker in his spare time. He also happens to play in a competitive mixed basketball league. There’s only one problem to his life: finding a babysitter to look after his daughter. Moreover, when he dozes off in front of the television in the evening, he dreams… a little too forcefully. In the bizarre, future world of his dreams, under the sign of a nebulous cabbage, he is an alcoholic. Basketball matches unfold on distant planets, a beguiling blue book reigns above all, and the prospect of love looms on the horizon. In the bizarre, future world of his dreams, he is the best basketball player of them all.
