The Workshop

Overview

Antoine participates in a writing workshop aimed at helping a group of young people craft a noir novel under the guidance of acclaimed author Olivia. As they delve into storytelling, the narrative uncovers the city’s working-class history, particularly revolving around a shipyard that has been dormant for 25 years. While the project aims to evoke nostalgia, Antoine remains disengaged, preoccupied with the anxieties of contemporary life and reluctant to embrace the past. The workshop becomes a clash between memory and modernity, challenging Antoine to confront what he wishes to forget.
