About Lucien

Lucien tells the story of a mime who reaches the limits of his craft. Struggling with sadness and loneliness, he finds himself unable to project the happiness his work demands. What happens when a mime, the medium of silent expression, can no longer pretend ? Lucien explores the delicate balance between performance and authenticity. The character's journey from despair to rediscovering his smile reflects the profound impact of genuine human connection.
