\nJohan van der Keuken, Netherlands, 1974, 16mm, b\/w & colour, sound, 39 min<\/strong>
\nDuring a family holiday in the South of France, the filmmaker reflects on his life and career, interweaving excerpts from previous works, fragments of poetry, and the wartime memories of elderly neighbours. As he discovers the world through his son\u2019s eyes, the film veers from the intimate to explore the universal motif of the passage from life to death.<\/p>\n
