Synopsis

\\EN _

inefficent joy _ is an experimental ski film exploring the paradox of dedicating so much time and energy to something as fleeting as the moments we all chase throughout the winter. In doing so, it reflects on why we do what we do revealing the inexplicable joy that skiing brings.

\\FR _

inefficent joy _ est un film de ski expérimental qui explore le paradoxe de consacrer autant de temps et d’énergie à quelque chose d’aussi éphémère que les instants que nous poursuivons tout au long de l’hiver. Ce faisant, il s’interroge sur les raisons qui nous poussent à agir ainsi et révèle la joie inexplicable que procure le ski.
