LIVRE D’HEURES
Luxembourg, 2019 / 25 min / Luxembourgish original version with English subt. / Fiction
A personal look at intergenerational cohabitation
Back in Luxembourg after years of working and studying abroad, Suzan Noesen moves in with her grandmother in the old family farmhouse in a small Luxembourgish village after failing to find affordable accommodation and studio space elsewhere. The two end up living in a creative shared living space - with all that this entails. Two contrasting mentalities emerge: the grandmother’s more rigid approach and the supposedly more open nature of her granddaughter. This opposition is explained by the women’s different experiences of work and the female condition, despite being motivated by identical human desires.
The true protagonists of the film, in addition to the women, are the actions and rituals that structure their day. The film is divided into four chapters, marked by the rhythm of daily activity - talking in the kitchen, eating meals together, discussing the need to put flowers on grandfather’s grave. Livre d'heures is a film about intergenerational difference, about identity, about the interdependence of two women and their individual dependence on time.
