Future Frames: Ten New Filmmakers To Follow 2018 / Valet noir / Switzerland 2017
Fleeting encounters, a mutual attraction that requires no words. Two lonely people who meet in an unusual place. Leila works as a croupier at a hotel casino in a predominantly male environment; Camil books himself a room in the same hotel… A fragment of the life of a woman whose singular appearance prompts a myriad of questions; Leila, however, guards her privacy assiduously.
Fleeting encounters and exchanged glances, a mutual attraction that requires no words. Two lonely people meet under unusual circumstances in an unusual place. Leila works as a croupier at a hotel casino; Camil books himself a room in the same hotel… A fragment of the life of a woman whose singular appearance prompts myriad questions, but Leila guards her privacy assiduously. A multi-layered story about mutual attraction, love, and a casino where gambling isn’t always the main focus.
