This film marks my first feature film, and its theatrical release is scheduled for the end of November 2022. During my residency at Menez Meur, I had the opportunity to present the film in preview at the cinema of Camaret-sur-Mer, located in the Regional Natural Park of Armorique (PNRA). There, I met Isabelle and Aziliz, a mother and daughter duo of storytellers. Naturally, we decided to create a narrated version of the film and then film this performance. A film made from a story made from a film made from a performance.

This project is made possible thanks to the support and generosity of the “Résidence création” program by the Finistère Departmental Council. It was realized in collaboration with and on the territory of the Armorique Regional Natural Park (PNRA) / Finistère.
In the heart of Finistère, the Armorique Regional Natural Park stretches from the Monts d’Arrée to the Aulne Valley, passing through the Brest harbor and extending to the Crozon Peninsula and the islands of the Iroise Sea. It was the second regional natural park created in France and the first in Brittany. Its mission is to support the sustainable development of its territory.
