White Death

Léo, twenty five years old, is a being who has lost himself. He is alone in a more and more unbearable existence by means of space and of vacuity. He is exhausted, incapable to pursue. For Léo, drugs are another means to spend this endless time which we call life. On a soft summer night in an abandoned villa surrounded with trees and with greenery, he injects a big quantity of heroine in the shape of ultimate journey with no return.

Directed by Claude Chamis, White Death leans on a strong ensemble — Arthur Molinier — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2010.
