GEANT DE PONT (LE)

GEANT DE PONT (LE) (1994)

Documentary

Each year, on the third Thrusday in Lent, there is a traditional procession in Pont-sur-Sambre, a small town in the north of France, some 200 kilometers away from Paris. The 104th such procession, in 1993, was a special occasion because it was also the christening of Jean-Jean the giant, who is the symbolic figure of the local peasantry. But a giant often conceals another one. As the film ends, the village mayor turns out ot be even more interesting than Jean-Jean.
