Soufrière, la vieille dame indomptable

The moon is familiar; she watches over us. The Moon is our only natural satellite. Appearing in our skies some 4.5 million years ago following a collision between the Earth and a nomad planet, she chose to remain in our orbit. She influences life much more than we imagine and was probably the reason why life first appeared on Earth. She raises the oceans, serves as a biological clock for the reproduction of certain species and is the driving force for animal migrations. As long as 4 million years ago she caused a 500-meter-high tide of lava. From India to Australia, from the bay of the Mont Saint Michel to Papuasia, or in the sacred pits of the Mayas in Mexico, we have a date wherever the Moon shows her face.

The former shepherd, Jean Lassalle, decides to run in the presidential election. Neither one nor two, Pierre Carles and Philippe Lespinasse, two filmmakers labeled left, but a bit politically lost, decide to take action: They proclaim themselves his campaign advisers, with the secret ambition to reveal his true nature, that of an anti capitalist revolutionary, lost among the centrists for 30 years.

Sticks, cubes, supremes, medallions, rillettes, shredded, sliced: surimi comes in all forms. Having appeared on the European market about twenty years ago, its success has been meteoric. Each French family eats an average of three kilos per year: France is the second largest consumer in the world after Japan. Neither fatty nor too high in protein, surimi contains neither crab nor fish waste. Yet, originally, this product is an art. Called Kamaboko in Japan, meaning "fish flesh," traditional surimi contains almost 100% fish. From five-star Japanese surimi to industrial crab sticks, the secret of its recipe begins 600 meters deep in the ocean.

Filmed in 2009 in his house at his little drawing table Frédéric Bruly Bouabré allows us to get as close as possible to the creative act. Methodical observation of clouds, spots on an orange or a cola nut, illustration of tales and legends, Bouabré's work is encyclopaedic. Born of a celestial vision that occurred in Dakar on March 11, 1948, which, he says, illuminated his life, dedicated from then on to the teaching of divine truths communicated to him in dreams. The creations of this Ivorian poet, designer, storyteller, thinker and prophet include an ingenious alphabet developed from his language, Bété. This system, made up of 449 pictograms to which syllables correspond, allows him to record the languages ​​of the whole world.
