La petite mort

Directed by François Ozon1995France26 mins

Photographer Paul receives news that his father is at death's door, so he reluctantly pays a final visit to see him at the hospital. Paul hasn't seen his father in six years, and all his life believed that his father found him to be ugly and not even his own child. With mixed emotions, Paul struggles to reconcile paternal love with his own guilt. Despite this, his lover Martial and sister Camille bring opportunities for growth — this ending will bring about a new beginning.
