Prise de présences
Prise de présences
For a year, a teacher travels to the Côte-Nord to teach children. The possibility of an escape looms, at the end of Route 138, far from the wounds that make her a slippery, breathless woman. Out of step with the people of the village, she questions her presence in the immensity of the landscape and the persistent pain that inhabits it - a darkness that she confronts through the sensitive, unpretentious contact with her pupils. Who are we when we are no longer suffering? In this new time - that of slowness - and in this new space - that of childhood in the heart of nature - she takes the measure of what encloses her within herself.
Moving between classroom stories and intimate poems, Vanessa Courville's Prise de présences explores the responsibility of adults in the face of joy, while questioning traditional schooling and its profound disconnection from life.
