Les Chiens Ne Font Pas Des Chats

87 views

Judith arrives at her parents’ house for her mother’s funeral, convinced she still has time to get ready. Sitting in her car, wearing a tracksuit and covered in acne patches, she learns that the guests are already inside, waiting for her to give the eulogy. Caught between urgency, social expectations, and the beauty standards passed down by her mother, Judith desperately tries to make herself “presentable” using whatever she finds in her car.

Cindie Mbiya

biography

I'm a writer and director who discovered cinema through Louis de Funès. His burlesque humor shaped my love for comedy and human behavior. My work blends dark humor, tension and intimacy, using laughter to reveal what we try to hide.
