synopsis

Once upon a journey, ten contemporary storytellers of different cultures create an imaginary epic story. The aromas of cultures, the taste of words and the perfume of travelling carry us from one storyteller to the next. Like an epic story, this film oscillates between imagination and reality, the inner world and the outside world, documentary and fiction. An ode to orality.
Dix écrivains contemporains de cultures différentes créent une histoire épique imaginaire. Les arômes de cultures, le goût des mots et le parfum du voyage nous transportent d’un écrivain à l’autre. Comme une histoire épique, le film oscille entre l’imagination et la réalité, le monde interne et le monde externe, le documentaire et la fiction. Une ode à l’oralité.
