The last day of the life of German Jewish writer and philosopher Walter Benjamin (1892-1940). The director re-routes Walter Benjamin between Cerberus and Port-Bou before his suicide. When we started shooting, the director's camera was stolen. The film incorporates this episode and attempts to reconcile two fates.
This is the story of a double spell. Are scarecrows not the remains of the living dead whose souls are trying to escape to ascend to heaven? The game of hopscotch goes From earth to heaven, Between luck and the well, You come back and it's over. Little, little girl, You're here to have fun. Throw the stone well, Watch where you put your feet.
A short ciné-tract made by Boris Lehman in homage to the films of May '68.
