A film of stills instead of pictures in motion. Protagonists caught in the unbalanced moment. The artist develops, with cleverness bordering on deception, a confidential relationship of complete trust with his subjects-be they families, friends, pets, lovers, or strangers. The result lies in images that exist somewhere between candid snapshots and constructed portraits. "Stolen" narratives unfold thanks to the great naturalness of the subjects, who, in front of the camera, reveal themselves without any reservation-disarmed and disarming.
