"It's a bit like putting together a family album from my personal archives," Vivian Ostrovsky said of this film made in 1984. The women of her generation, and those of the next, will also find images corresponding to the period of the creation of communities in the wake of May 1968 with the joyful and festive atmosphere that reigned in the feminist groups of the time. The chopped editing, the scrolling of images that you can't decipher at first glance, the soundtrack by Vivian Ostrovsky and Patrick Genêt, made of real sounds - you can make out the bells of the village church and the rooster crowing - and musical excerpts, which all contribute to constituting what the filmmaker and critic Yann Beauvais calls a "mosaic diary".
