In this dreamlike tale, an ode to theater life, and a loose wandering through the psyche of an actress at the dawn of a new role, actress Lucie says her goodbyes to her daughter and mother, to be thrown into a medival world. Thrown into the world of dreams, Lucie is a knight. She rides her horse in the plaines, when suddenly, her horse disappears. Thus begins a period of wandering during which she will cross paths with two other female knights, themselves also looking for their horses. LUCIE LOSES HER HORSE is rooted in a double context, that of the cinematic works of Claude Schmitz, and that of the closing of theatres. Just as he was in rehearsals for his new play, "Un Royaume", itself a hybrid work mixing together theatre performance and video, the threat of the lockdown reared its head. Who know if, when and how theatres will open again? "Un Royaume" was to be presented at the Théâtre de Liège, but the tour was cancelled because of the COVID-lockdowns. The project was adapted into a cinematic form with this atypical feature film, which paints the portrait of its protagonist just as it questions her practice.
