Synopsis
For fifteen years, my uncle Jean-Marie, theatrical technician in Toulouse and former dancer and furniture designer in Paris, has been living in an old dovecote in the middle of the French Pyrenees. Following an HIV infection and consequent serious cancer illness, the now fifty-year old decided on seclusion. The old dovecote of his father plays an essential role in his renewed quality of life. For Jean-Marie, it is a fortress for freedom and peace, far from the turmoil of a big city.
