Mezzogiorno su un terrazzo di un sobborgo canadese. Lui č assorto nelle sue attivitā quotidiane: la creazione di piccoli pesci da regalo, le lezioni di francese. Lei prova in tutti i modi a stimolare la sua curiositā, le sue parole. Ma niente. A raccontarlo, Midi sembra un minuscolo istante di vita di una coppia. Le immagini, al contrario, contengono una vita di rimorsi e frustrazioni, ma anche la sincera speranza che, in fondo, non č tutto perduto.
Il sole a mezzogiorno non si vede ancora.
It is noon on a terrace in a Canadian suburb. He has his daily activities on his mind: making small paper-fish to give as presents and learning French. She tries in every possible way to raise his curiosity and make him talk. Nothing happens. Summarized this way, Noon seems like a tiny glimpse of a couple's life. The images, on the contrary, convey a life full of remorse and frustration, but also the sincere hope that, after all, not all is lost. At noon the sun is yet to be seen.
