Women's stories are often less visible, and yet richer. Moving into her grandmother's house while expecting her first child, Messaline Raverdy sets out to explore what remains hidden inside old boxes and behind long-closed shutters. Going through a trunk of family archives, she pieces together the history of the local Raverdy company, an abandoned coffee and chicory factory that mainly employed women. Combining Super 8 footage, old photos and ads, word games and conversations with her grandmother and retired female factory workers, she composes a visually enchanting reverie that's reminiscent of Agnès Varda's Diary of a Pregnant Woman and Jonas Mekas's poetic peregrinations. An ode to women, their work and their changing bodies, Behind the Shutters is also an attempt by a very talented "apprentice filmmaker" to apprehend the intangible fabric of time through cinema.
