Leçon de Vie

This film consists of poetic and philosophical variations on the theme of Paradise lost, or the loss of innocence necessary to reach a state of knowing. Here, a selection of men, women and children try to converse alone with nature, with water, the sky, flowers, trees, insects... searching for the silent and the invisible, everything that society and the urban environment try to mask and stifle today. Their cries, their messages overlap and reply to one another, like echoes in the mountains or waves in the sea, which are the essence and breath of the world. ’Leçon de Vie’ is a wake-up call.
