Synopsis
It is unusual to walk into an image of childhood. (Chris Marker) I am fortunate to be able to do so. Whenever I go to Le Havre. However, I've never lived, I have no attachment there. Le Havre avenues and streets, its buildings, its shops, have the taste of my childhood. In Le Havre, a "whatever" has not aged, is not denatured, is frozen in time. Is that the youth of the city, the flagship of the reconstruction and thirty thrusts? Is this genius of Auguste Perret who wanted to build the perfect city? Is it her musicality in all respects? This film is an invitation to the travel (s) in the time, in the city, in childhood, with guide, the voice of Dominique Reymond.
