Gaza-strophe, Palestine

Following the appeal of the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, founding member of the International Parliament of Writers besieged in Ramallah, a delegation of writers went there to demonstrate alongside the Palestinians a "beautiful linguistic collaboration" in these "high places of spirituality” (Ramallah in Arabic) where the Israeli program of humiliation is also a “verbicidal war”. “We want to listen and make other voices heard in the din of war, that of writers, artists, academics, all those who are preparing for the future... Opposing the logic of war, not a force of "interposition but INTERPRETATION FORCES", says the French writer Christian Salmon, member of this international delegation.

In September 1994 in Trappes, Abdelmohcen Asli, alias Titus, 24 years old, was stabbed in the heart by a young man from his housing estate when he intervened to prevent a fight. Three weeks later, he died of his wounds. His parents, his brother, his sisters and his friends, in shock, want to keep his memory alive. On the 40th day of his death, they each send him a declaration of love filled with images and memories. The director is the brother-in-law of the victim.
