Highway Rest Stop (Des Jours et des Nuits sur L’aire)
This film is portrait of a motorway rest area located in the countryside in the North of France. It looks like a dream, filled with the whispers thoughts and the lives of those who work here, as well as those who are just passing through. It is also a very concrete place, a perfect spot to observe today’s Europe, the violence brought by the free competition of a single market, the nostalgia caused by uprooted lives, and all the solitude engendered by our modern world.
