What seems light and volatile can be infinitely deep ; and what seems powerful
and expansive can be contained in a breath.
The eternal dance of water and wind, like the sigh between two hearts, carries with it
the same gravity of the deep, and all at once dissolve into a brief murmur.

Once upon a time, men erected multitudes of chimneys, from which great volutes
of opaque gray smoke rose to the heavens. Crushed, suffocated and paralyzed, mankind
and the Earth were annihilated in a single salvo, leaving behind only ruins, reminiscences
and spectres of that sunken time.
Here, in the depths of these abysses, lie a few remnants. As if in a hazy, lonely dream,
walls and nooks and crannies reveal the semblance of lost and spectral existences.

Shared memories, events, adventures or nightmares - what is everyday life like in wartime,
when you're a child and still think the tooth fairy under your pillow replaces your tooth with a penny ?

An open-hearted dialogue with marginalized youth in the rural Ardennes. At the heart of this intimate story, Yvonne _ the director _
meets Victor, a 20-year-old farmer, and his community. The film captures their heartfelt exchanges about relationships and sentimental setbacks, while exploring the generational and socio-cultural gap that separates them.
A poignant reflection on the quest for meaning, through the confrontation of diametrically opposed reference points, contexts and life experiences.

Once upon a time, men built multitudes of chimneys, from which opaque
and grayish smoke was rising to the heavens. Crushed, suffocated and paralyzed,
men and the Earth were annihilated by a unique and single salvo, leaving behind
only ruins of that sunken time.
Here lie a few remnants in the depths of these abysses.
As if in a hazy and lonely dream, the castle moat, through a breach,
reappear semblances of lost and spectral existences

In addition to her remarkable pictorial work, she left her mark on her time,
through her association Femmes Artistes Modernes created in 1931
in favor of women artists, so that they would be recognized on an equal footing with men.

The observation of a world of images in which our reflection has become a norm, a mantra;
vanity when you hold us.
Blinded, veiled by the camera of our phones, we perceive our environments or our own bodies
only through our devices for capturing, projecting, broadcasting, ...
