Esprit de Bière

Directed by

Small or large, beer excites and sends you to sleep, makes you lively or quiet. It may join people together or drive them apart. It magnifies gestures, desires, but also failures. Beer has his own memory. You may bring it out with you and drink it. It gets transformed inside you and it transforms you as well. It exaggerates tiny utopias, even throughout one single night. In a way, it also changes the relationship you have with small things, with the world around you. You drink it without knowing what it exactly contains and what it really is. Beer is both an obvious and unknown liquid.
