The Portrait of a discreet man, of a workman. Marc Coton’s portrait, the father of the director. The
echo of a warm silence, which has screened off his family from the
racket of the steel industry, where he has been working for 30 years. The
story of an uncompleted inheritance, of a silent promise: „My son,
you’ll become a different man“. The film leads to reconciliation
achieved through the years, through daily acts.

Maxime
Coton was born in La Louviére in 1986. He studied sound engineering at
INSAS where he mixed his passions (music and writing), discovered
radiophonic art, electroacoustic music and cinema as well. Today he is
not only a sound engineer or a sound editor, but has also his own
projects as a film director (“Entre Création Et Exil”, “Les Vagues Et
L’Enfant”, “Nicolas Treatt, des voix, des visages”, “A
l’Improviste”...). He is also involved as a poet (“La Biographie de
Morgane Eldä”, “Le Geste Ordinaire”, “Le Mot Minimal”), as a musician
(TOPE!, Aorte, Alibi), and finally in the organization of a public house
(éd. Tétras-Lyre), and audiovisual production (Bruits asbl). Le geste ordinaire is his first movie.
