Life Is A Very Strange Thing

Australian filmmakers, Les McLaren and Annie Stiven, arrange to meet an old friend in Paris. They had first met Frédéric when he had been a young rebel, and an ethnomusicologist in Papua New Guinea. They had then lost contact but in the intervening years, Frederic had become the executive of a multinational garbage business. After decades abroad he’d returned to a France that is on edge with terror attacks, and shaken by the rise of nationalist politics.
