PITCH
Following a tragic
accident, a
number of people lose their principal
gift. Hiding behind the mysterious name Ellektra, a young girl brings
those
people together and offers them solace for their loss.
SYNOPSIS
IN
PORTUGUESE
Sam,
ex-journalist/ex-junkie, gets the task to find the girl Ellen and bring
her back
to her father Aimé. Ellen refuses to go back to her criminal
dad. Sam
takes
Ellen, who makes her think of her deceased daughter, under her
protection. But
in the confrontation with Ellen’s father, Sam has nother
option than to
make a
final sacrifice.
Aside
of the main plot, a number of characters is introduced:
Pianist Anna, dj
Cosmonaut X, perfumer Harry, pilot-to-be Ludovic, stripper Cynthia,
hussler
Cabron. At first, they seem to have little in common.
Until
a catastrophy
hits them individually at the same
time,
and they accidently get in contact with Ellen, hiding behind sms
messages from
Ellektra.
STYLE
Reminiscing
other episodic film noirs like Amores Perros, Magnolia and Requiem For
A Dream.
Inspired by poetic nightmares à la Lynch, offbeat Almodovar
characters,
and
Jeunet’s tragicomic romantism, the surreal
world
of Ellektra opens
up.
