“It comes from within me, from my internalized lesbophobia, when I started falling in love with girls. It was a self-examination about the mechanisms that pushed me to enter a mental, psychic and societal confinement. I wanted to write about this. The theme of incarceration came from a purely cinematographic question: how to represent confinement?
Josza Anjembe: [translation from French by Beti Ellerson]
At the time, I organized visual literacy workshops in prison and it seemed logical to me to inscribe this story in a prison. To talk about men, I have researched a great deal on homosexuality in prison. It is a way of not talking only about myself, of taking a distance from my story and allowing space for cinematic representations. Writing about men allowed me to enter into fiction.”*
