Henri de Lannoy

Henri lives on the outskirts of Brussels. He loves life but is letting himself die. He withdraws into a world shaped by Diogenes syndrome, where his cluttered home becomes a reflection of his inner self. But Henri’s everyday life takes a surprising turn when he opens himself up to the filmmaker’s help in beginning to tidy his home. Over time, something in Henri slowly shifts.

A complete descent into the depths of Judeo-Christian civilization. Dunes and bunker, Tree of Adam and Eve, Americans, 4WD, crusades, birth of Siamese babies, Tri-popes, Jesus, Dali, Claudia, cinema, the devil... an explosion of discoveries makes this offbeat film an elusive work in the pure tradition of Belgian “common sense”. The subject ? In the vicinity of Avignon, at a place called “Earthly Paradise”, a family finds the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. But everyone has their own way of exalting this mystery. And Paradise plunges into Hell... To be reborn in Love? Only the false is true
