About the Author
After a career as an engineer specialising in ecology, I moved into the audiovisual sector in 2016. A classical guitarist since childhood, I began working at the intersection of music and image as an assistant director, then camera operator on concert recordings, before moving into directing and editing multi-camera live performance recordings. Alongside this, I trained at the Ateliers Varan in 2020, through which I made my first documentary film. I subsequently directed short commissioned films for the Théâtre Gérard Philipe in Saint-Denis and the Philharmonie de Paris. In spring 2025, I am writing my first feature-length documentary, La terre de San, at La Fémis.

Imagine a great linden tree standing in the middle of a courtyard that stretches between a large farmhouse and the kitchen garden. This is where, on the farm, Mylène and Sylvain live with their three children, homeschooling them, feeding their family from their own livestock and crops, grown without machines, in a space and time beyond all notion of performance, in pursuit of a life that is both grounded and free, as earthly as it is spiritual. The boundaries between work, school, home, what they produce and what they eat have dissolved entirely. With quiet conviction, they shape their daily life into something soft and malleable, reclaiming their gestures one by one, whatever the cost. But what happens when social time collides with the time of utopia?
