A strangely familiar world, somewhere between Berlin and Havana.
At the heart of a city divided by an imposing border wall, Héléna works for a renovation agency. She repairs balconies, patches rooftops, and briefly steps into the private lives of her clients. Everywhere, streets, parks, and homes are slowly being reclaimed by flora and fauna. Ivy and reeds are gaining ground, iguanas fall from trees, and rain extends its reign. In this world governed by agencies and patrolled by border guards, Héléna rides her bicycle with her tool trailer, trying to outrun the monsters of the past that haunt her. One day, in the damp basement of an apartment building, she discovers a group of clandestine tunnel diggers—and a wild hope rises within her: to cross with them.
Le Mur unfolds as a political and existential metaphor in which the force of nature, the work of hands, and the dream of exile find their echo.
