LE SYNDROME DES CŒURS BRISÉS | TAKOTSUBO

Synopsis

From a passionate relationship to a chaotic one, the line is thin. This is the case for Alix, who, blinded by her love and her relationship, is plunged into the depths of a toxic and vi*lent bond. Between r*pe, dependency, and emotional blackmail, will Alix manage to break free?

My work

I joined the project midway to contribute to the film’s original soundtrack. My role involved creating cinematic arrangements with strings, reworking existing compositions, and co-creating several tracks in an electronic style to bring a modern touch. This work was carried out in close collaboration with the director, aligning with her artistic vision and references to deliver a rich and diverse score that complements the film’s identity.

About the director

Pauline Vial-Bonacci is an actress and theater teacher. After training in a theater-focused high school program, a cinema preparatory course, and intensive workshops (notably at Cours Florent and Arts en Scène), as well as training in dance, she wrote, directed, and acted in her first short film, Le Syndrome des Cœurs Brisés / TAKOTSUBO, which was screened in numerous cinemas.

As a continuation of this project, she created a photo series highlighting violent acts that are too often normalized, such as street harassment, marital rape, and school bullying, portraying them in public or everyday settings.

OATHS OF LIGHTS

My work

I began working on Oaths of Light for ASM Games in 2020 as part of a small team of five passionate individuals. Together, we successfully created a prototype for our first game. Throughout this journey, I have worked closely with the developer, contributing to the shaping and refinement of the game’s universe as it evolved, ensuring that the music seamlessly complements and enhances the world of OOL.

With the first chapter, Awake, set to release in late 2024 or early 2025, we hope it will deeply resonate with players. This milestone will pave the way for completing the full game and bringing to life all the musical drafts and ideas we’ve poured our hearts into over the years.

In Oaths of Light you will play as Eden. A young woman who’s peaceful life who will soon be turned upside down by a series of unexpected events. You will be taken on a journey through the kingdom of Meadran. In this adventure, your choices will have consequences.
