Les Emergences : Tout va bien, les madeleines ont du goût

One dreamt of a life in his homeland; the other left it behind. Torn between nostalgia for their childhood and a cynical view of adulthood, they will revisit the moments in their lives that have brought them to where they are today.

July 2008: 31,529 supporters gather. Among them is a 10-year-old boy who loves singing Pierre Bachelet’s songs. This memory is rekindled in the adult he has become 18 years later. A dialogue begins between them. One dreamt of a life in his homeland; the other left it behind. Caught between nostalgia for childhood and a cynical view of adulthood, they retrace the moments in their lives that have brought them to where they are now.
When juggling becomes a constant struggle to hold on to memories, like maintaining a last line of defence against oblivion.
