Once upon a time...

Marc and Katia

34 years old. 30 years old.

Businessman. Housewife.

He likes drinking whisky, She likes drinking black tea,

Playing billiards, Walking in the woods,

And the opera. And dancing.

They met during the representation of Swan Lake in Moscou.

"Tied by marriage

And they have been told marriage is for life nomatter what"

"everything was okay until..."

One day, Katia receives a letter. Then, she receives a box.

The letter says, come with me to the land of your desires!

And in the box, Marc's burning heart was drawing another path for their life.

That afternoon witnessed the birth of

"Katia's dilemma"

SYNOPSIS: Katia owns everything except her freedom. To get it back, she will dare to start

dancing again, wich is her premarital passion.

Marc, her husband who is crazy about her, will do anything to stop her;

blackmail, depreciation, threats, violence... and love!

Where will this duel lead?

As long as i have the power, you are the dove, the rose, the sun that is shining bright.

I am lost. I don't know what to do. it's like i've been walking in the fog. I can't hear anything. I can't see anything. Please help me! i want to make it through.

A deadly gentlman

Marc would do anything for her, anything at all! But what is the price.

SHOOTING: the preparation started on November first. The choice of the actors has been made as well as the sets, accessories, costumes... The rehearsals, the conceptualizations of the image and the sound are in progress, the work is pleasant and intense for everything to be ready for the filming wich will take place during five days at the end of February 2018.

The FORWARD SHOTS team thanks you for your support and your generosity. Through this short movie, we wish to carry out a suffering feminine voice that is still very widespread and muffled in all the countries of the world.

We'd be very pleased to have you on our facebook page "Too many wings for one cage" and instagram account "toomanywingsforonecage", where we will continually post the progress of the project.

-Katia: i can't choose my nail polish colour!

-Marc: red.

-Katia: what is your biggest fear

-Marc:... i don't want to lose you

-Katia: you will never lose me

Poison.

Sinking in the ocean of poison that your ways force into my body.

Every single morning i keep saying to myself "you are alive" for hours before i am able to move out of bed and connect to life again.

-Marc: you're a monster. You're ugly. You're awful. You're not human.

-Katia: leave me alone

I don't want to get hurt and yet i still go back to you.

"the shadow of your shadow"

Your abuse was too silent. Your ways too discreet to be seen, but as the years went by, i slowly became someone else. I became you!

Will i ever find myself again... Will i find love again, and if i do, will i accept it, keep it, cherish it... what about my fears... Am i becoming the monster you sowed in me?

THE CYCLE

First, he will lift you up.

Then, he will break you down.

After, he will fix you.

But the scars will remain, even when he will lift you up again.

Know your RIGHTS.

BREAK THE CYCLE

JEAN MI: the two-headed owl, the team's lucky charm is born on a lovely Autumn day. i was questioning myself on the project. But that afternoon, while i was desperately waiting for my train arriving only three hours later, meant that i would certainly miss my following appointment, life had arranged an appointment for me! As i was hitchhiking, JeanMi stopped his car close to me to take me home in Nîmes! We talked about cinema, and after a soothing silence i smiled. He asked me why. I stared at the long road in front of us into the flamboyant forest. "Life is beautiful" i answered. And it was then that i found answers to my questions.

A little poem by Remy, the first assistant.

From Katia to Marc... Pour your eyes into mine

Only to inject your evil

I have only myself to

Save me from your grip

Only if you could see

No one ever loved you like i do.
