There is friction in the water. An entity of the environment but also a constant subject of manipulation. When water became a ‘thing’ that you can buy in a bottle, something changed. L’eau Faux is an experimental film with animation, puppeteering and actors.
Animated ice, shadowpuppets and a large number of pre-cinematographic technics such as phenakistoscopes, zootropes and kaleidoscopes form the setting of a journey in which a cent has fallen into the sewer system.
