This film is a tribute to the spirit of Luc Ferrari, his fondness for gambling, sensuality, delicacy, but also the seriousity, a fictional setting image of seven of the eight movements of his musical " Torn Symphony". This film is so personal, to reflect the anguish that we all feel, between sweetness, pleasure, joy, sensuality, violence, brutality, terror against the wars taking place next to us. How resilient and how an artist creates deep in these contradictions rending ? This is one of the questions asked by Luc Ferrari when he composed this piece during the war in Rwanda.

Jacqueline Caux
