In this experimental film, award-winning filmmaker Christian Mathieu Fournier draws freely on Samuel Beckett’s play Waiting for Godot and the pictorial work of Edward Hopper. Waiting for Casimir is marked by time: time that passes and time that stops despite the continuous swinging of the clocks. 

In a cozy house in the heart of a village, men and women struggling with their limits live wrapped up in a well-ordered routine. Between the wooden slats of the interior walls, the outside life creeps in, like a parallel universe observed from afar by the residents. Strange fates are linked, between an immediate world of interchangeable images on a green screen on community television and intimate stories of life shaped by powerful and defining experiences over time. Filled with beauty and mystery, the film takes us to the heart of the human being, its fragility and its emotional depths.
