Festival du Rossignolet – La fuite

Backpack on his back, Hektor, in search of freedom, confronts a series of obstacles that life throws in his path. Like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, he struggles as best he can in this inhospitable world and, by turns acrobat, mime and dancer, he crosses a multitude of burlesque situations. A tent, a photo booth, the wind… Everything seems to conspire against him, and the gags follow one another in falls, chases and shocks, improbable and risky gestures. Hektor reinvents the figure of the clown, at once moving and hilarious, and the archetype of the vagabond up against a world too harsh.
