Any gardener knows that pumpkins, when wounded, heal by growing scars.
Harking back to an early childhood Memory, French sculptor Françoise Jolivet etches designs and writing into all sorts of pumpkins, which emerge as the pumpkins grow. The result is so amazing that she refuses to Watch her Works rot and disappear over winter. The artist embarks on a quest for a means to save them, which takes her as far as the Atomic Energy Commission.
Ultimately, she finds the solution in a local plant in the Normandy countryside that dehydrates fodder for cattle.
I?ll Be The One With The Pumpkin is the story of a woman obsessed. Like heroes of old, sculptor Françoise Jolivet constantly sets herself ever ?more - daunting challenges
with often hilarous results. Throughout, she sticks to her guns, as unruffled as Buster Keaton, while enchanting us with her witty remarks on her ambitions, emotions and secrets.
