The Noise in My Head

1 hr. 30 min. | Drama | N/A

Laura is after separating from her boyfriend. She’s also struggling to find her way in her new job. One day she meets 18-year-old Simon. He’s trying to get by selling old newspapers. She invites him for a drink, offers him a shower in her apartment and finally lets him stay in her spare room. But who is this boy and why is a man after him. “With this new film I wish to explore inner conflicts, a more complex and intimate territory of human behaviour. I aim to reveal the frictions and silent contradictions that can exist in someone, and spoil and contaminate their relationship with the others”, – says director Vincent Pluss.

Vincent Pluss

Born in Geneva in 1969, Vincent Pluss studies film at New York University, Tisch School of the Arts. In 1993 he starts to work as an assistant and soon as an editor in the USA, China, Germany and Switzerland. After directing a few short and dance films, he gets attention with “Back for More”, a first feature film which is awarded the Swiss Film Prize 2003 for best narrative film. With “The Noise in my Head”, Vincent Pluss continues to work along the same lines, as most of the actors from his first feature have a role in this one. They work on further developing a particular filming technique based on improvisation and collective research.
