Director Emilie Verhamme, whose 13-minute Cockaigne earned her an award at Film Fest Ghent, talks about her new short starring Belgian model Simon Roobaert:
"Antichambre is about the difference between the dreams and expectations you have when you are young, and the reality when you are 15 years older. When you’re young you always talk about 'later' or 'when I grow up,' and then all of a sudden you are grown up and things turned out differently to how you expected; dreams may have changed, people that were in your life may no longer be, goals may have grown.
"The film is also about time and waiting: we hope for something or someone to make our lives better. In a way we are stuck in an eternal waiting room."
