At the end of World War II, a group of Resistance fighters FTP refuse to hand in their weapons. In 2018, I discovered that my grandparents and great-grandparents, who were then deeply involved in the Resistance, were complicit in these events.
Here, I particularly wished to shed light on the women in the shadows, who took part in acts of resistance. This group of women came from all over Europe and crossed paths with my grandparents.
Full night summons these vanished women through the bodies and faces of women today, weaving an imaginary lineage between past and present.
This film is a tribute to them.
