在这部一个失败作家的画像片中,二十三岁时,Joris开始了他的第一部小说。与此同时,他记录着每一次拆开出版社回信的时刻。虽然没有出版社愿意出版他的作品,Joris仍不停地创作。七年内,八部小说。随着他对写作过程的记录,他最终开始用镜头思考“现实他”与“理想他”的距离。
At the age of twenty-three Joris writes his first novel and starts filming himself while opening letters from publishing houses. He receives nothing but rejections letters, but keeps on writing. Eight novels in seventeen years. No one wants to publish his work, but he keeps on filming. He turns out documenting the distance between who he wants to be and who he actually is.
