SYNOPSIS
A STUNT WOMAN FINDS HERSELF TRAPPED IN A VICIOUS CYCLE OF REBIRTHS THOUGH HER ASHES. ONE EVENING DURING A ROUTINE RIDE IN HER SPORTS CAR, AN EXPLOSIVE ACCIDENT CHANGES HER DAILY LIFE FOREVER. FENIX TAKES YOU TO A TRANSCENDENT, NOCTURNAL, SEXY AND ROCK’N ROLL WORLD, WHERE LOST SOULS BREAK FREE AND UNEARTH FORGOTTEN TREASURES.
The film is set in a post apocalyptic world ...
The themes of metamorphosis, and the passage of time are the foundation of FENIX. Its development was established around three points of inspiration: the testimonies of near to death experiences, Vanitas paintings as well as the mythical bird the Phoenix. The film is presented as a memento mori still life in motion, set in a post-apocalyptic world of black sand dunes, all paced by the acting of the Montreal performer, Kim-Sanh Châu and Olivia Faye Lathuillière’s puppetry.
