À l'occasion du dixième anniversaire du Figaro Magazine, Daniel Toscan du Plantier (Erato Films) et Louis Pauwels ont proposé à cinq cinéastes un jeu de la vérité : proposer au public français des courts métrages traduisant leur vision personnelle de la France et des français. Eve Ruggieri présente chacune des fictions et interviewe quelques étrangers célèbres amoureux de notre "Douce France".

Two segments make up this short film. The first portion called “The French” has two men taste testing some delicious wine, and the other, titled “The Gauls”, is of men playing rugby. This short by Werner Herzog is part of the “The French as Seen By…” series. It was initiated and sponsored by the newspaper Le Figaro, as part of the 1988 celebration of the tenth anniversary of its magazine section.
