Encounters 2016

Tout Le Monde Aime Le Bord De La Mer

Tout le monde aime le bord de la mer

Keina EspiñeiraFrance201617 min

A group of men are waiting at the fringes of a coastal woodland for the journey to Europe, in limbo between time and place. A film is shot there with the men playing themselves. Fiction and documentary constantly intertwine. Myths from the colonial past collide with dreams of a better future. The landscape changes and where they are is no longer their motherland. There are no beautiful beaches, the water is not transparent, is not clear. Memory survives as an echo from the distance of those who call them.
