- Next to Rennes men's prison, as next to almost all the prisons in France, there a Family Support Centre for the prisoners' families. Visitors go there before and after a visit. They come back, every week, sometimes three times a week. They wait. It is a space of its own. Visiting is time consuming. They always arrive early. If they are a few seconds late, the door of the prison will remain closed. So they wait, to be sure to be on time, to be let in. The prison rules infringe upon this place, a passage between the outside and the inside, where all feelings are amplified: frustration, anger, hope, desire, fear, passion... To have the strength to go there, you must be so deeply rooted in life that you can breathe life into this inflated waiting time.This film is about life in that place. It is also an echo of what prison is made of. By choosing to remain exclusively «next door», the film paradoxically offers a direct approach of what the carceral reality is. The hidden side of imprisonment, life outside, without the other. But definitely life, not a subsitute.

- Filmed over the course of 30 days, in 30 continuous-shots with a cell phone, this diary-like film explores the story of a lost little white dog, who meets people and animals, discovers new places, and keeps going through his everyday life in real time, as he searches for what lies behind the appearances of the trivial, experiencing chance and necessity. In the end, the viewers, divided in small groups, are invited to participate in a film workshop and to shoot a short sequel or a commentary to the film: the 31st sequence-shot. The film is therefore completed with an additional 18-minute sequence.

Vian's passion for this style of music indeed inspired his style in all the categories he covered. It even dictated his relation to life and death.
