The Woods Dreams Are Made of
Le bois dont les rêves sont faits
2016 · 2h 24m · Documentary · France, Switzerland
Le Bois de Vincennes is a safe harbour for many Parisians. Migrants and natives, prostitutes and stalkers, rich and poor, old and young, downshifters and loners come to this forest in search of themselves and find there an escape from the metropolis. A delicate and profound portrait of a contemporary man and his desperate search for an 'unknown homeland'.
