TIDES - Directed by Arthur Chaumay and Simon Duong Van Huyen

TIDES from Arthur Chaumay on Vimeo.

Loosing himself between memories and fantasies from his childhood, a sailor remembered his encounter, friendship and love with the sea.

"I first saw them from the top of the cliff
Some days I watched them sliding on the sand
Coming and leaving as the days went by
The wind carrying their scent on my face

We were good friends back then
I observed them in silence
Behind the barrier of sand

One of them pulled me into her run
She was fiery and fast
The other, peaceful
Unveiled her treasures in the sunrise

You never stopped calling my name
Carrying my body on your swell, pulling me away from the shores

I’m sailing today come hell or high water on this sea with two faces"
