What is Bigfoot?
They say he lives in the woods. Enormous. Elusive. Covered in fur. A myth, a beast. Or maybe just a man. Wild. Half-animal, half-human. He screams, growls, destroys everything in his path.
A car cuts through the night and leaves a child at the edge of a farm row, near a wind-beaten land populated by buffalos. Rémi, a man of imposing stature, finds him wandering among the massive silhouettes of the beasts, as if he had fallen from another world. Hugo’s strange imagination strikes a deep chord in Remi, slowly cracking through his silence. The day that follows becomes an open-air standoff between a man and the embodied memory of what he destroyed.
Bigfoot is a social fable about violence against women, told through the eyes of the man who perpetrated it. A film that believes in awareness, in confronting one’s inner beast, and in the possibility of change. A slow, rough metamorphosis toward becoming a better man.
It’s the story of a strong body and a broken voice. The cry of a man who, for the first time, dares to look at himself. Dares to face what he has destroyed. And imagines—perhaps—a different path.
Because there is no legend without a creature. And without introspection, one cannot free their demons.
