Synopsis

Let’s rewind. In 1942, Hannah Arendt writes a poem, dedicated to her dear friend Walter Benjamin. In 1944, the village and inhabitants of Oradour-sur-glane are obliterated by a Waffen-SS unit. In 1970, Ulrike Meinhof rises to passionate action against imperialism.

In an elegy, in a manifesto, in the silence of destruction, Leroy and Morel create a dialogue in counterpoint to after-images of the past.
