Foreign Legion officer Galoup recalls his once glorious life, training troops in the Gulf of Djibouti. His existence there was happy, strict and regimented, until the arrival of a promising young recruit, Sentain, plants the seeds of jealousy in Galoup's mind.
A contemporary dance video and a tribute to Patrick Bokanowski. The choreography of Bernardo Montet, conceived and created to be filmed by Robert Cahen, is based on the music of Michèle Bokanowski. It speaks of the loneliness of the dancer in the centre of the stage.
“Specially created for the Rencontre Danse / Image in Chateauvallon, this film is the result of the encounter, confrontation and then the almost miraculous match between the light and violent camera of Téo HERNANDEZ and the dancer-choreographer Bernardo Montet in the midst of improvisation. A body between sea and sky, the silent presence of the wind, a few birds: the elements of a fundamental mythology transformed into lyrical abstraction.”
