SAY GOD BYE tells the story of a teenager's transformation into a filmmaker under the spell of the cineaste who has lived and worked on Lake Geneva since 1975: Jean-Luc Godard. We delve into this teenager's past, from his conception in the Paris of A Bout de Souffle, where his parents were working at the time, to his first forays into filmmaking. Fascinated by the already legendary filmmaker, Thomas dreams of becoming his assistant. He writes to JLG, asking him if he could "look over his shoulder" while he is at work. JLG never answers. Rejected by the master, the teenager must now find his own way as a filmmaker until that day in 2021 when he senses JLG's end is near. Thomas decides to visit the master. On foot. A pilgrimage to pay his (last) respects. His aim is to meet JLG in person. Thomas Imbach dreams of filming not the master, but WITH the master, for which reason he has packed his Aaton camera in his backpack. The closer he gets to Lake Geneva, the more intense his emotions, his anxiety, his uncertainty. SAY GOD BYE is the story of an obsession; it is also a story about the universal theme of love. It is the story of a man who finally summons the courage to seek out his beloved, to tell him face to face about his lifelong love and to say, “Thank you, JLG”
