The Curse Of Persephone

40 views

A young vampire locked in his bathroom, scrolling through Instagram and comparing his body to unattainable standards. Fascinated by an image that crystallizes desire and shame, he begins a ritual of transformation combining makeup, DIY, and self-harm. The more he tries to conform, the more his body cracks, until the final explosion. Through the broken mirror, the film explores the pressure of image, the quest for beauty, and self-acceptance in imperfection.

biography

My name is Clémentine Lelizour, and I am a student at CinéCréatis in Lyon. Cinema has always been a part of my life, like a natural language. I love exploring intimate and sensitive stories, where images become a tool for questioning identity, the body, and how others see us!
