Sul lettino dello psicanalista, Henry parla disperatamente del suo problema: un meteorite gli si è scagliato contro, lasciandolo vivo ma costringendolo a vivere a 91 centimetri da se stesso. Può passare attraverso i muri, può accendere il vecchio televisore senza vederne lo schermo, dovrà ridisegnare la sua casa in funzione della distanza che deve mantenere. Dice che si abituerà, Henry. Ma una vita così non può durare a lungo. Mescolando il classico immaginario della fantascienza anni Cinquanta e la psicanalisi, Jérémy Clapin ha disegnato un personaggio indimenticabile, dall'attualità evidente. "Shkizein" significa "diviso" in greco, ed è l'origine della parola "schizofrenia".
On his psychoanalyst's bed, Henry desperately speaks about his problem: a meteorite has crushed him. He survives but is forced to live at a distance of 91 centimetres from himself. Therefore he can walk through walls and switch on his old TV without seeing the screen, although he will have to redesign his home according to this distance. He says he can get used to it, yet such a life cannot last long... Fusing the Fifties' science-fiction imaginarium and psychoanalysis, Jeremy Clapin has depicted an unforgettable and clearly topical character. The Greek word "Shkizein" means "split" and is the root of the word "schizophrenia".
Note di regia / Director's Statement"Skhizein started out as an etching of a man, in a sitting position, but with his chair a few feet away. Taking this very graphic idea, I soon realised that there was a way to develop it into a tale. The title "Skhizein" is actually half of the etymological root of the word schizophrenia, and means "split"".
