A comedy with a dramatic undercurrent, this film follows the journey of a previously absent father as he tries to get to know his deceased daughter. Never before shown in Dutch cinemas.
Raoul is grieving the loss of his daughter, Agnès — a daughter he hardly knew, having been largely absent from her life. Now, burdened with guilt, Raoul sets out to discover who Agnès was and what she did with her life.
He travels to Marseille, guided by a few clues Agnès left behind: she supposedly attended a taekwondo school, spent time at a language centre, and worked at a law firm. None of it turns out to be true. Instead, the clumsy, awkward, and tragically comic Raoul is drawn into the real world his daughter inhabited — a world rooted in Marseille’s techno scene and underground drug culture.
Fotogenico premiered in the ACID section at the Cannes Film Festival.
