SYNOPSIS

Roman wants to explode. Unlike other teenagers, he doesn’t seem interested in sports or drugs, girls or boys. He’s neither nihilist, religious, depressive or suicidal. His goal is to vanish, dying is unimportant and he’s only interested in the act’s spectacular effect. But please, don’t misinterpret it as a death.

Jean-Gabriel Périot

Born in France in 1974, Jean-Gabriel directed several short movies, both in video and cinema. He develops his own editing style with archives. Between documentary, animation and experimental, most of his works deal with Violence and History. His works, including "Dies Irae", "Even if she had been a criminal...", "Nijuman no borei" and "The Devil" were shown worldwide in numerous festivals and were honoured by many prizes. His first feature, "A German Youth", opened the Panorama section of the Berlinale 2015, was released in France (and nominated for Best Documentary for the French César), Germany and Switzerland and has been awarded worldwide.
