Ecorce
by Samuel Patthey & Silvain Monney
15’07”/ Switzerland / animated documentary / 2020
Synopsis
In a hidden place, the daily routine of a retire-
ment home unfolds as time seems to stand
still. The penciled residents come to life on
paper. Some are active, others rest or follow
a fixed schedule to be repeated each day:
medication, meals, games… Around them,
machines are flashing, caregivers are busy
and some crucifixes remind them of the
death that lies in wait. Time fades away and
nearby, stretches a forest.
