SYNOPSIS
In her flight, shaped by the journey through a variety of landscapes and a succession of trials, Marcelle, nicknamed Ultraviolette, will defy school, illness, doctors and death, filling everyone she meets along the way with life, only to find herself alone in the world, exhausted but not defeated, with her mad love still very much on her mind...

THE DIRECTOR
After studying history and art history in Strasbourg, Robin Hunzinger went on to study film at Jussieu under Jean Douchet, Jean Rouch, and Bernard Cuau. Since then, he has been directing documentary films exploring history, war, the traces of memory, humanity’s confrontation with the unthinkable, and nature.
He is a home filmmaker. He writes, reads, reshoots, scans, crops, retouches, records, edits, and re-edits—often alone—in his studio in the Vosges. Among his major films are Où sont nos amoureuses, Vers la forêt de nuages, and Inventaire avant disparition.
His films have been screened at numerous festivals: Cinéma du réel (Paris), the Etats généraux du film documentaire in Lussas, the Rotterdam International Film Festival, the Thessaloniki Film Festival, the Beirut Film Festival, FIGRA… He has received two SCAM Stars, as well as the Grand Prize at the Traces de Vie Festival in 2008, the Ahmed Attia Award at MEDIMED in 2011, the FREEDOM International Prize at the Luxor African Film Festival, the Special Jury Prize at the Pan-African International Film Festival in Cannes, and the Best Documentary Feature Film award at the Martinique International Film Festival in 2016.
