« I thought that filming one last time my father’s house and memories, filming the trips to minimal places, empty houses or a cemetery, filming the last visit of my brother and his sons to Roubaix, yes, filming all that, that was my job. ». As his father leaves the house he inherited when he was 21, Arnaud Desplechin films one last time the walls of his childhood. A rare and intimate documentary, at the heart of this family cell that has been at the center of Desplechin’s cinema. A film filled with ghosts, where the beloved and missing women still haunt the streets of Roubaix.
