This work deals with the emotional issue of suicide. Several scenes make up the work, and they attempt to illustrate some of the many ways individuals may choose to end their life. This work does not claim to provide answers to the suicide question. Rather, it intends to make the viewer feel part of the very intimate and often misunderstood sentiments which accompany this dramatic act. Is suicide a true liberty, the opportunity for us to choose when and where we wish to die?

Comment a border le suicide sans tomber dans le mélodrame et la pitié? Ce vidéo se compose de plusieurs tableaux qui illustrent une manière de quitter la vie, soit à l'aide d'examples tirés de la littérature (Claude Gauvreau, Hubert Aquin) ou par des textes personnels. Le cri perdu n'a pas la prétention de résoudre le problème; il étale plutôt certains faits, dans une atmosphère intime, en-dehors des apparences reliées à cet acte ultime. Le suicide n'est-il pas la seule vraie liberté de l'homme, le moyen de choisir l'espace-temps de sa propre mort?
