Synopsis

An African travels to Paris to learn about the construction of tall buildings, but is soon taken up with the oddities of French life.

Cinema Atlas Connection
Rouch taught me to look at people, not to be shy about filming them, to respect their presence, their intelligence, their ability to transform themselves... His films, like Jaguar and Little by Little, they showed me that cinema can be about shared experience, about revealing humanity.
