L'Eternelle

Director Patrick Mimouni / 1988 / France

The story of Daniel Desire, a clerk in a factory in the port town of Seyne-Sur-Mere. Married, with a young child, Daniel Desire' lives a simple, honest life and is liked by his fellow-workers.

Then one day, Daniel Desire leams that he has only two years to live .. . Things change.

Adapted from Frederic Vitoux's short-story 'L'homme a la jupe ecossaise' (The Man in the Kilt), Patrick Mimouni's cool recounting of this 'tale of ordinary madness' is consummate use of the short-film as short-story.

You'd be crazy to miss it.
