Totems

International Short Film Competition

Bastien is dead. A group of friends gather at his family’s home for a memorial to cope with the loss together. And it’s also necessary to dispose of his sex toys before his grieving mother finds them. But this opens the door to even more memories and suppressed emotions. A bittersweet chat about life, friendship, parenthood, and loss (not only) of a young person.
