A scenario is the series of events which happen in the space between the first and last situations of a film. A film progresses from one situation to the next, sometimes the situations are returned to, sometimes the situations completely flip and change direction. The viewer identifies differently with the characters according to his own subjective state, the stakes of the situations and their staging.
Since its inception, cinema oscillates between the places it shows us and the stories it tells us: in films, some stories arise from places they were inspired by, or, on the contrary, they come to life in the mind of the filmmaker, and truly take flesh in a final form at the place chosen for the shooting.
In life, as in a film, playing opens up a free space between fantasy and reality. Playing means selecting objects, determining a space dedicated to the play, inventing rules and sometimes breaking the pre-established ones. Filmmakers, like their characters – of all ages – grasp the play to feel this freedom.
