Plot
Yves Edouard is someone I hear a lot about Hes a farmer and cereal grower an endive producer Hes clearly a character out of a novel One morning I went to his farm and he hired me as he needed someone to weed his endive fieldsWhen I went to see him I imagined constructing something romanesque and aesthetic I had planned to film the work but this proved impossible I then met Catherine Pernot the friend of my friend Sophie Roger I was enchanted by her way of talking about things even the most ordinary ones I described the work on the endive farm so that she could turn it into her own story I recorded her and reworked her words to create a text that she then had to learn and act out in front of the camera Next I filmed an interview between Yves and myself The film is thus composed of two sequence shots Catherine then Yves As if they had slipped into their characters skin she tells the story he answers the questions
