LA POMME CHINOISE
Alongside images, a text: poetic prose that punctuates a flow of images (of Provence, relatives, animals) that bit by bit form a network – remanences of the Algerian war that surface in the memories and the monuments. As an underlying theme, youth and its options: a young woman gets to grips with this story through theatre, a young man shows reserve by quoting Melville’s Bartleby. The North and South Poles of possible reactions. In between, the world.
