MARTINIQUE
Stéphanie SAXEMARD

- STEP : in development
SUMMARY
This film traces the life of Nicolas Labiche, a 104 year old Robertin and former fisherman. He is the precursor of the impasse Labiche in the village of Robert. In this film, he tells us about 70 years of life and past experiences in this small neighborhood of Robert. The film oscillates between real images and animated images, mixing reality and fiction to give an account, through the story of a man and his family, of a reality sometimes forgotten in the history of Martinique.
