Three women decide to repaint the world when it becomes too grey, in a silent, colourful short about joy and sisterhood told through visual poetry.

Silent visual poetry about women repainting the world sounds like the kind of earnest allegory that makes me itch—except Marchand's committed to the bit so completely, letting colour do the argument without winking, that it actually earns its whimsy instead of just signalling it.
Marchand positions this squarely in the lineage of silent cinema and experimental visual storytelling, where form and theme are inseparable; the choice to communicate joy and sisterhood through colour and composition rather than dialogue speaks to a disciplined understanding of what the medium can do.
The decision to hold on static frames while colour saturates the composition—letting the painterly gesture itself become the narrative momentum—is what separates this from greeting-card sentimentality and makes it land with actual weight.
