Tide(2019)

Tide is a French experimental film that unfolds across a single night on a deserted ski slope. Twenty-five-year-old Antoine joins his team of snow-grooming machine operators for their nocturnal work, where massive vehicles perform a hypnotic ballet across the white landscape. When a sudden tremor immobilizes the machines in darkness, Antoine embarks on a strange journey through the mountain's mythic space—a liminal realm where ancient fears and sacred reverence converge. The film transforms routine industrial labor into something otherworldly, blending documentary observation with dreamlike atmosphere as it explores humanity's relationship with the untamed natural world.
