Yvette, Léon and the others are between 70 and 80 years old. They live in different countrysides, but each of them is living in the same house for years and years, in the countryside where they are born.
They are peasants, and they had a hard work life in the fields and ranchs. They are, now, at the border of the modern daylife, they are retired and got small pensions. To look at these deep-rooted persons is a way to reconsider our present time.

Twenty years after the historic call by Coluche on the french broadcast "Europe 1", the "Restaurants of Heart" still exist and became a true charitable institution. Shot in Strasbourg, during last winter, the film meet benevolent people who help as poor people who receive goods to survive.
The work of Emile Gallé (1846-1904)is one of the essential references in Art Nouveau. The master of the Ecole de Nancy was a glassmaker, a cabinetmaker,a ceramist, but also a commited humanist and a botanist of repute who has left an important scientific work. Gallé studied and skatched Lorraine's flora with meticulous care. I found inspiration in the shapes, the curves and details of some flowers, but also some insects to create vases and furniture.
