Alain Emery

A seasoned lady-killer introduces a series of Decameronic vignettes about men's resourcefulness in seducing women and the price some of them have to pay for it.

In the south of France, in a vast plain region called the Camargue, lives White Mane, a magnificent stallion and the leader of a herd of wild horses too proud to let themselves be broken by humans. Only Folco, a young fisherman, manages to tame him. A strong friendship grows between the boy and the horse, as the two go looking for the freedom that the world of men won’t allow them.

Fafai, a young boy, lives with his grandfather on the island of Glamador in the Camargue. To help the old man who can no longer work, Fafai finds a job as a caretaker. He must tame wild horses. But during a storm, they escape and swim to the island of Glamador. Fafai leaves for the island to bring back the herd... Glamador is none other than the island on which Folco and Crin-Blanc end up arriving after their escape, told in Crin-Blanc. This film is the sequel to “Crin Blanc”.

Through the portrait of Alain Emery, who in 1953 embodied the child of the film 'White Mane', directed by Albert Lamorisse, this film is a tribute to the Camargue, its winter light, its peculiar rhythms to the men and women, guardians, bull-breeders and fishermen who give this land an incredible wild beauty. Returning to the scene of filming, this film goes in search of the poetic force that flows from end to end in Lamorisse's film.
