The Yamuna is the most sacred river in India and for twenty years the most polluted in the country. All the sewers of New Delhi flow into it, creating an immense ecological disaster. Yet thousands of the country's poorest Indians live freely around it. Their names are Augustin, Tulsiram, Kishori, Hari… They were able to invent their own models of adaptation with faith and determination. While the Indian state has always neglected its banks, they are today coveted by numerous real estate developers aided by corrupt politicians. In this new context, the inhabitants of Yamuna must perpetuate their belief while amplifying their spirit of resistance to continue living on their land.

‘Devki’ is the owner of “Bhagwati Glass Enterprises”, a glass tube factory in Firozabad that he created in the year 1973. François Daireaux, spent days in Devki’s office for days filming these images displayed on the control screen along with recording some off-screen conversations. Behind closed doors, stories unfolded, intersected,and often tales were embroidered, while in the production spaces the workers rested, waited, breathed, and played, in close proximity to the incandescent glass stream that passed by.

Saint-Nazaire, the shipyards. Tiny little men on gigantic machines, boats that will sail away: between the workers' every day life, the sailors' experience and the dream of seeing the world, how can imagination still have a place in an industrial world?

From what was to me a gift of friendship day: a book makes some of Rosa Luxemburg's prison letters written by her friends Sonia Liebknecht and Mathilde Wurm between July 1916 and October 1918. And all the jingles who composed this period: songs of birds, plants, colors and sounds passages. Those for events in the events of the being-locked. As for the outside: October, World War Revolution, The emigrant and Chaplin The Adventurer, The affliction flowers and Klee's zoological garden. Appearances / disappearances, present stories, their intertwined. Destinies.

One hundred and twenty-five hectares represents the amount of land occupied illicitly since 1983 by a collective of small farmers in Le Morne-Rouge in northern Martinique. As she harvests taro corms in her field, founding member Véronique Monjean retraces the collective’s history and their occupation of the land. In taking possession of what was, at the time, unoccupied property, the collective was seeking, above all, to counter the expansion of real-estate development, which threatened to reduce the area of arable land on the island. The collective favours subsistence agriculture and biodiversity through the rotation of local crops (tubers, root vegetables, etc.), which have the potential to provide for the island’s population in the event of a crisis or natural disaster.

A few kilometers away from Rome, the sand dunes of Sabaudia, the Circeo marshes and Arpino’s mountain waterfalls become the backdrops to fabulous transformations: Callisto is changed into a bear, Jupiter metamorphoses into Diane, Glaucus becomes a sea monster and the nymph Salamachis melds into the body of the young Hermaphrodite. But each of these transformations also plays on those of their performers, thus giving a new twist to Ovid’s Metamorphoses, written before and during his exile from the Roman Empire, and questioning the role of gender and identity in our society.
