sounds, and seems to live only for his research in music, as if he had to organize the chaos of the worlds background noise which surrounds him. His relation to
the world, his way of life, his meetings all happen in a context linked to the sounds. Bruno listens, records and composes. Bruno is going to live a crisis which will
be confused with his musical experience ; the invisibles is that story. In the same time he is experiencing a pivotal step in his professional life, Bruno is going to
look for a woman who disappeared without notice, and for whom only memories are a few scattered elements : sighs, voice, hummings
With all these elements, which represent some milestones of their brief relationship, he will try to write a piece of music which could transcend this impossible
love. In his quest as well as in his enquiry, the music has the leading role. It is both Brunos professional activity and his reason to live as well as a fundamental
romantic motif. Finally, the music will make sense of his strange adventure. And his personal trajectory will draw the way of his creativity.
