Amis du Lac depicts an interstellar terrarium containing some of the last vestiges of earth’s living creatures: surveilled by a large, blue alien, the complexity of human life and longing is brought into clarity via the daily lives and waking dreams of the terrarium’s inhabitants. The film stands as a treatise on the innate ability of the imagination to envision perpetually better worlds than the one we’re currently inhabiting, as well as the evocative power of music and art. The earthlings of Amis du Lac are no longer physically connected to their planet, but the planet itself lives on in an ever-expanding world of self-contained dreams and ideas.
