FIDELIO - ALICE'S JOURNEY
a film by :Lucie Borleteau
Alice is a 30 year-old sailor, in love but unmarried. While her companion Félix waits for her ashore, she sets off as second mechanic on the Fidelio, an old freighter. On board, she discovers not only that she replaces a recently deceased mechanic, but also that the Captain is none other than her first great love, Gael. In her cabin Alice comes across the diary of the former mechanic, and by reading its content –accounts of technical problems, sexual conquests and lovelorn emotions – she finds, oddly, that they echo her own journey. As the ship calls on various ports, Alice deals with life aboard with an all-male crew and the swings of her romantic feelings, while trying to stay the course.
Alice est marin. Elle laisse Félix, son homme, à la terre ferme, et embarque sur un vieux cargo, le Fidelio, comme second mécanicien. À bord, elle apprend que son prédécesseur vient de mourir, et découvre, troublée, que Gaël, son premier grand amour, commande le navire. Dans sa cabine, Alice trouve un carnet ayant appartenu au défunt. La lecture de ses notes, entre problèmes mécaniques, conquêtes sexuelles et mélancolie amoureuse, résonne curieusement avec sa traversée. Au gré des escales, au milieu d’un équipage exclusivement masculin, bercée par ses amours qui tanguent, Alice s’expose au bonheur de tout vivre à la fois et tente de maintenir le cap…
