Fables misapi
The movie Fables misapi deals with the relationship between the inhabitants of Château-Thierry and a 17th century man, Jean de la Fontaine, a native of the town - today, even the traffic circles illustrate his famous animal stories.
What's left of these fables in the town, apart from the traffic circles? The question was a good opportunity to talk to the people we met in the market square, on the street, in the squares: improvised discussions in front of the camera, where a cluster of issues gradually emerges - from air pollution to migratory movements, from the difficulty of finding one's place to racism, from the fear of seeing "everything" change to the endemic lack of prospects for living well.
