Storyline

A walk within a place which possesses its own rhythm, in the heart of the city: the garden. A dream amongst the trees, children, birds and strollers. Like mental images of the dreamer, fishermen watch over these scenes. A line links them to the mysterious world where fish evolve. This video was filmed in October 1984, at the Saint-Mandé Park, and contains images taken at the Trocadero Aquarium.
