A journey into the history of French cinema through the eyes of director Bertrand Tavernier (It All Starts Today, Safe Conduct), who defines the work of a filmmaker as that of a "a citizen, a spy, an explorer and painter, a columnist, and an adventurer". Tavernier dedicates the film to some of his masters, such as Jean Renoir, Jean Vigo, Gilles Grangier, and Edmond T. Gréville, among others. A film in which he expresses his gratitude to directors, writers, actors and composers who arose in him the love for film. Cannes Classics, 2016.
