SOLANGE AND THE LIVING

 

directed by Ina Mihalache

 

 

 

 Lonely girl looking for no one.

 

 

One day, while Solange is studying sheep-shaped dust formations in her apartment, the doorbell rings. A deliveryman claims to have a package for her. Solange is formal in her response: That's impossible. The deliveryman insists, and misunderstanding ensues. Solange collapses. When a doctor suggests that someone watch over Solange at night, her landlord devotes himself to the task. Later, remembering his other obligations, he must recruit a replacement watchman... A human chain is put into place to prevent Solange from being left alone. This relational therapy seems beneficial.
