Faglarna (Swedish: fåglarna, literally "The birds") is a fantastic short film, directed by Mathurin Frenove and Maxime Barreau published on YouTube in March 2022. This film, based on an original script by Maxime Barreau, was made as part of a course given by Mr Sébastien Jacotin, a teacher at the IUT in La Roche-sur-Yon.
Plot[edit]
The story of Faglarna describes the adventures of Henry after his death. The film starts with the sound of bells and an unmarked grave, probably belonging to Henry. In the first part of the short film, Henry does not realise that he is dead. He then goes on to lead a very ordinary life. We see him reading a book, sleeping, walking in the woods or crossing a road.
As he progresses through a world that could be likened to purgatory, and as he encounters many people, he becomes aware of his own death. Thanks to his encounters with the angel Gabriel, he will gradually accept this death and understand how he can rest in peace. The origin of the title comes from the fact that every time Henry becomes aware of something, you can see or hear a bird.
At the very end of the short film, Henry will give a monologue in which he states that he never had the chance to "connect with another human being" but that he finally "succeeded". We also hear the sound of bells again, a sign that Henry has finally accepted his own death.
Note that Henry never leaves the camera frame alone throughout the film, except when he accepts his death. This reflects the confinement he is undergoing.

Filming[edit]
Most of the scenes in Faglarna were shot in a wood near the IUT in La Roche-sur-Yon. However, the film crew was able to shoot in Jérôme Lanneluc's house and obtained permission from the headmaster of De Lattre to shoot in his school. The first scene of the film was shot in the cemetery of Mouilleron-le-Captif. Due to the lack of personnel, some members of the team had to take on several roles simultaneously. This was the case for Maxime Barreau and Jérôme Lanneluc who were brought in to shoot the short film.

- "Phantasm" (Jo Wandrini)
