AU CONTACT Documentary, 19 minutes EXTRACT - CHAPTER "ANAS" Emmanuel, Jean-Noël, Rose, Anas and Talliah are the fireflies of social bonds. As handymen, confidants and observers, they maintain the microclimate of a human ecosystem. They talk, listen, fix, keep watch and walk a lot. In the buildings and residences they look after, they are the beating hearts that bring warmth and life to a shared habitat. Au Contact portrays caretakers and managers of different generations. Through a single transgenerational narrative, it captures their daily lives, gestures and rhythms, reflecting the evolution and diversity of the profession. Above all, the film conveys the emotion inherent in the human 'contact' that defines the profession, drawing on everyday stories and intimate moments. Shot in France in Angers, Saint-Leu-la-Forêt, Marseille, Le Pecq and Metz.
