From our hands

Philippine Orefice

Guyana, France - 2022 - 52 min

synopsis

These are small jobs like many in Saint-Laurent du Maroni. In this border town in Guyana with strong social issues, Dimo, Rosaline and Mélanie have created their work. A necessity that is first and foremost material that they carry out daily with determination and the implacable will to rise. In this film, a large place is given to the gestures and dexterity of these three workers. With a large space to tell their story, we gradually discover who is hiding behind this roadside stand, the curtains of this family apartment or the planks of this wooden house. Behind the ordinary of these situations, the three characters open a reflection on the notion of work and paint, through their different journeys and trajectories, a portrait of Saint-Laurent and part of what is at stake on a daily basis for its inhabitants.
