Simultané

Thomas Grascoeur

(Pronounced: see mule tin nay) Our younger selves begin with hopes and dreams of a spectacular future. But as the years pass, circumstances shift, doors close and the demands of life often interrupt, or even extinguish those early visions.
What if we could step outside that relentless busyness and, for a moment, revisit those dreams and imagine the person we might have become.
That’s what Simultané is about.
It's a contemporary story that also pays subtle homage to favorite films of the 1950s…think the charm of Audrey Hepburn plus the spirit and energy of Katharine Hepburn.
Simultané is set against the radiant palette of the Côte d’Azur and accompanied by original music inspired by Gershwin and Rachmaninoff. The film is also influenced by the French artist Sonia Delaunay, particularly her idea of simultané: when contrasting colors are placed side by side, each becomes more vivid and more alive. That visual and emotional principle became a metaphor for the film itself.
