In the heart of Brittany, Jean embarks on a crazy soliloquy on the trail of the asphodels. Walking the entire path with him, the camera meets the inhabitants and the memories that populate these places in documentary scenes from the past and the present. A journey through space and time, Le Sentier des Asphodèles explores history, as well as geographical motifs, fauna and flora, legends and songs, everything that materially constitutes a territory. A touched impulse crosses the film’s path. Space and time confront one another at all times, retrieving moments of light.
