To tell Cartier is to cross the mirror of the futile to go towards the precious, from coquetry to provocation, from chic minimalism to excessive extravagance. Telling Cartier is also starting from a private story to speak sideways about more than 160 years of French history. The film will interweave the historical landmarks of the House, leave the museum, unearth archives, play on anachronism by telescoping eras; to revive these precious objects, and to open the chests; present them on the body and the skin, sensual support and final destination of a jewel. Gorgeous.

Appointed artistic director of the house of Dior in April 2012, following the hasty departure of John Galliano, Belgian designer Raf Simons has only eight weeks to launch his first haute couture collection. The challenge turns out to be a collective adventure, full of humor and emotion, around the passion of a profession and in the service of the vision of an atypical designer, who shuns the spotlight. Far from the clichés inherent to a world where the catwalk and eccentricities often have the upper hand, Frédéric Tcheng’s attentive camera delivers an endearing and colorful portrait of the little hands and collaborators of one of the most legendary French fashion houses.
