content
The young teacher Marelle has been mourning her husband Daniel, who has mysteriously disappeared, for three years. She no longer sees a future or a present. Then she discovers that he is said to have made a secret pilgrimage to the place of his childhood. So she takes a trip to the Gers near the Pyrenees. Strange events like the encounter with a mysterious antiquarian in a bookstore and an elderly peasant woman open up a secret world for her. Like Eurydice , who is supposed to save Orpheus from the realm of the dead, she goes into a crypt. Because twenty years ago a little girl died there that Daniel once wanted to marry. And there, in a cave, Marelle meets the dead ...
Emergence
Fascinated by the mythical rites in the Gers, Bernard Férie wrote the story of coping with grief. The drama about a young woman who tries to come to terms with the loss of her husband thus becomes a fable, a fairy tale. Claude Jade, who drives a Renault 5 on country roads and dirt roads in the film, did not have a driver's license.
Awards
The film received the Prix des Auteurs and the Prix des Nouveaux Talents Télévision de la SACD in 1985
