Claire Simon
2012 - France - Couleur - 101'
A documentary portrait of the gare du Nord. Countless people pass through the station and cross it, coming from Paris suburbs, provincial France or abroad. This is a motionless journey in the gare du Nord in the company of Simon Mérabet, a friend from Southern France of Algerian origin. Fleeting encounters in which each person relates his or her life in a few words before getting on a train and vanishing. The crowd of travellers suddenly comes to life through intersecting stories, one life then another, while globalisation forges destinies submitted to geography or economy. Just like a book does, the film collects writings: final words before vanishing.
