Written by Coche Daniel   

a film by Daniel Coche, 27'

Henri Keller, born in 1933 in Mulhouse, spent more than 30 years of his life travelling from one pit to another.

 

At forty years old, in the Moroccan desert, this man started to write. He has published two novels ”Amélie” prefaced by Simone De Beauvoir and ”Bou-Bou”, and short stories ”Azougar”. The film makes a portrait of this man, whose strength is both in his lucidity and capacity of irony.
