Synopsis

A documentary in tune with Gaston Rollinger's poetry

Gaston Rollinger, an elderly poet and film-maker, lives alone in his childhood home in the astonishing landscape of Esch-sur-Alzette, a very special place where industrial relics meet wild nature. He draws all his inspiration from this place, and tells Fränz Hausemer many of his secrets, even though some of his landmarks are gradually beginning to disappear. This portrait of a singular man is interspersed with spellbinding pieces, the contours of which are drawn from Rollinger’s own poetry.

A surprising and moving exploration of the work of a poet and topographer, this musical documentary is in tune with the spirit of Gaston Rollinger. Between past and present, a portrait emerges of an irreducible artist, in love with the land he surveyed all his life.
