Description :
Albert Desteen, stricken by illness, gradually sinks into a tide of debt that he can no longer cope with. His over-indebtedness gradually overtakes him, to the point where his life becomes a seemingly hopeless nightmare. His meeting with a debt mediator, Wendy Leroux, will however bring him a glimmer of hope. But the road ahead will be long and difficult, full of pitfalls and constraints. For the impossibility of facing up to financial obligations is gradually embodied in the bodies and minds submerged by the capitalist logic of a mindless mechanism. Apnea is a "documentary fiction". But it is also, and above all, a dive into the meanders of a society that inculcates in the most precarious a culture of poverty and submission that is often irreversible. As a series of short testimonies inserted in the narrative proves. Rémi Pons, trained at INSAS in Brussels, alternates between film, theatre and radio. His writing is part of an immersion in the social circles he assiduously frequents. Apnea is his first published text.
