Director: Emmanuel Finkiel
Synopsis:
Between 1994 and 1998, Emmanuel Finkiel organized for his fiction films a casting of non-professionals within the French Ashkenazi community: ‘Yiddish-speaking men and women between 65 and 90 required for fiction shooting”. Emmanuel Finkiel then chose to make a documentary from these individual interviews and these screen tests where people’s real-life and the fiction of characters constantly mingle, between experience and representation.
