Gaspard is still very much in love with Leïla. They meet in a crowded bar a month after she left him. The conversation turns awry and, as he feels tears welling up, Gaspard seeks refuge under the tablecloth, away from prying eyes and closer to his memories…

 

Raphaël Jouzeau is an illustrator-director and wears glasses. He graduated from the Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg and the Atelier Supérieur d'Animation in 2019. He tells stories that straddle the border between reality and dreams, about ghostly memories and love, with a Strokes-iesque melancholy.  He likes to "tinker" with his images, superimposing video animation and textures of all kinds, forcing accidents and the surprise of discovering new images.
