Biography

Après avoir passé sa jeunesse au Sénégal, Gilles Sandoz rentre en France et enseigne les mathématiques à Gennevilliers (Hauts-de-Seine).

Il est le père de l'actrice et metteuse en scène Maïa Sandoz.

Mais la jeune femme aime en secret Piotr, le fils d'un riche paysan, et c'est Raissa qui succombe peu à peu aux charmes d'Alexei. Pour constituer la dot de sa nièce, Raissa se voit contrainte de céder une partie de sa forêt au père de Piotr. Elle s'inquiète aussi à l'idée de voir ressurgir son neveu Guennadi, qu'elle a laissé grandir loin d'elle dans la pauvreté.

In a brief autumnal cold opening scene, Lady Constance Chatterley (Marina Hands) farewells a burly visitor of professional appearance who drives himself away from the manor house in a 1932 Peugeot. We then see the conclusion of a formal Christmas dinner, ironically accompanied by the ghostly music of the Danse macabre. The host, baronet Sir Clifford Chatterley, relates how he was wounded in World War I and returned paralyzed from the waist down. Though he is both sexually impotent and emotionally distant, Lady Constance tries to be a good wife to him, though their marriage is dreary and unhappy. One day Constance is tasked with going to the gamekeeper, Parkin, to request a brace of pheasants for the kitchen. She is aroused by the sight of Parkin bathing himself. Afterwards Constance falls into a depression where she can barely move or leave the house. One day, while walking in the grounds of her home and picking daffodils, Constance goes to Parkin's work cabin and rests there awhile. She asks Parkin for a key and though he initially appears reluctant to give her one, he eventually does. Constance begins going there every day to work side by side with Parkin.

In a Parisian apartment, police discover the body of Georges Figon, the man who broke the scandal of the Ben Barka affair, and undermined Gaullist power. A year earlier, Figon, tired of dubious deals and petty scams, is looking for a lucrative job. Close to the "middle" since his years in prison, he is given a big assignment: to produce a documentary about decolonization, written by Marguerite Duras and directed by Georges Franju, with the help of famous Moroccan dissident, Mehdi Ben Barka, who has been hired as an historical consultant. The film project is a trap.

Deux scénaristes décident d'écrire un film politique mettant en scène le petit monde du Garage Moliterno & Cie, à L'Estaque. Ils plantent peu à peu le décor, donnent vie et profondeur aux personnages et testent différentes variantes de leur intrigue, dans une version originale du « film dans le film ». Qualifié de « conte » par son auteur, ce film aborde des questions graves (mondialisation, chômage, endettement) mais se conclut par un happy end.
