Ariane Doublet

Waiting for the solar eclipse in a small village of Normandy, with tourists, amateur astronoms, and farmers.

Will close? Won't close? At the small sugar factory in Colleville, we are waiting for the decision with a mixture of anger and resignation. The factory like a monster. The noise of the machines, the dashboards flashing, the smoke from the cookers, the routine of the clock and the night shifts. And the men at work, the confidences in the locker room with the friends, the stolen aperitif on the schedule,... these thousand ways to tame the plant so that it does not devour your life. Everyone here knows that the days of the candy factory are numbered. This year, next year, basically, what difference does it make?
