At the end of his life, before lying down for a last time in the snow, Robert Walser, a Swiss writer at the margins of the literary scene of his day, compiled, on various scraps of cardboard, what has been called his microgrammes : shorts texts written in a microscopic way in a langage that was for a long time believed to be indecipherable. This film, shot with an old mobile phone, is an experimental biopic of Walser, a tribute to micrograms, an ode to poor cinema and to the minuscule poetry of things.
