Finisterre

Directed and written by Coralie Vollichard, Finisterre follows the imagined voyage of Marcia Le Goff, a Breton solo sailor in a round‑the‑world race. Giulia Belet inhabits the role through intimate confessions to a camera, strained calls, and pragmatic boat repairs, while Tamara Fischer’s dramaturgy shapes the narrative. Fanny Courvoisier’s scenography, Joséphine Maillefer’s score, Nicolas Mayoraz’s lights and Timothée Giddey’s sound craft a claustrophobic, luminous world that blends solitude, delirium and a relentless search for freedom, interrogating how gender frames that quest.
