Synopsis

Overwhelmed by guilt since the death of her little girl, Mary became a self-pleasure addict to keep her mind from endlessly reliving the terrible event. Her aloof husband suggests using her addiction to become a camgirl. At first horrified by what she considers to be prostitution, Mary soon yields to satisfy the man she thinks she has lost.

Marie Delacroix
MARY DELACROIX, 29, bright and pretty, has studied at EDHEC Business School in Roubaix, where she met her husband Leonard. She’s unable to recover from the accidental death of Emily, her 4 year daughter, for which she feels responsible. To try forgetting, even a few moments a day, the terrible event she constantly relives, Mary developed a peculiar sexual addiction. Leo being unemployed, it is she who, with her parents help, provides to the couple’s financial needs.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

What I want to say with The Infinite Moment can be summed up in one sentence: one must first solve the problems within oneself before considering a healthy relationship in a couple and/or with others.

Mary’s problem is her inability to mourn her child because of her enormous guilt. She finds refuge in compulsive masturbation to forget – even for short moments – the moment of the fatal accident. But when her husband asks her to become a camgirl, her addiction soon disgusts her.

The route is that of a character from a fairy tale who must overcome obstacles before reaching her goal, which, here, is to find peace with herself. In The Infinite Moment these barriers are taken from female sexuality that serve as metaphors to different representations of women today (and every role women are asked to take): The girl friend/wife – the mother – the whore.

How can women cope today with these different images society and media very often convey of themselves? is also one of the questions I wish to raise in The Infinite Moment.
