the edge of cities, the middle of nowhere, or almost, on a stretch of road, railway, abandoned parking lot overgrown with weeds but where the camera Jean-Charles Hue captures to the ground in a burst of light, sun poetry a wild flower among the brambles around. Around caravans and a car in a fury that might head in the middle camp. Awakened a man appeared with a gun in his hand furiously against the unconscious that risk the lives of children playing here and there! The names of birds
fuse, and the old man and threatening ... Youth sneers. Following a process that seems to go back to a distant time, when the clans clashed following very specific rules, the different light involving the honor of a family will be resolved in a fistfight, the great father entrusting his little son the care proxy.
Fight, win or lose, almost irrelevant just participate to keep the honor safe. The blows rained down as far as the words fly and quickly forgotten as, if not how to survive. For Fred
, huge and massive man, hitherto respected, things will take a strange turn, when he cashes in buying a gun against the promise of a BMW that will provide freshly stolen. A sudden drop, the camera freezes, spins, a halo of white screen and invades the mind of Fred, a visitation, evidenced by the sudden company of a huge white dog, Fred has been affected by the thanks, Jesus, he needs to change, no more bad shots, he will lead a healthy and right. More hay, more alcohol in short, is the big concern among his people. What will live there, and his family ...
Almost a documentary, but a fiction, life in the community Yenish for raw reality, the strangeness and the experience of Fred for fiction, the desire a divine salvation, of a possible takeover, just as in Ferrara possible redemption, but Fred can it really?

CritiKat.Com "... Jean-Charles Hue is quite right not to be denied. He knows that the poverty of the development will not detract from the boldness of the move. Then he tried to things. It does not skimp on the beautiful crane movements, which on several occasions, raising the camera above the camp or make the world spin out of its way. He does not hesitate to push his story to the slopes fantastic ...."
