11 brief minutes in the life of a young archaeologist. Suddenly, the excavation site is transformed into a shop window, and she – into a mannequin, reflecting the darkest and most inane side of society. A flirtatious middle-aged man. Jeering passersby. Even a group of tourists. Her workday turns into a nightmare, and the lyrics of a song, “if you’d only look at me,” take on a menacing tone. 

Charrier investigates the societal link with the gaze and its object. Specifically, by use of a genre – an acerbic comedy – the male gaze and its relationship with the object. Even if the film mostly assumes the point of view of the young woman, the archaeologist, it deftly steps into multiple other perspectives and accelerates the situation into a grotesque culmination. Charrier has studied contemporary literature, worked as a journalist, and created music videos – this is her debut short.
