Édouard Louis

The portrait of Geoffroy de Lagasnerie, through fragments of the present, archives, readings and close voices. A film where political thought is felt in gestures, friendship and struggles, and where cinema becomes a space for the lively circulation of thought.

At a time of debates on gender, identity, belonging and borders, a man has sought to overcome the strict opposition between oneself and others, to dream that we can transport ourselves, modify ourselves, transform ourselves. This is the writer Édouard Louis.

The metamorphosis of a young boy from a sub-proletarian background in Picardy into a star of French cultural life. Édouard Louis, who in a few years has become the spokesman writer of a generation, encourages each of us to make permanent transformation a new way of life.
