Film in French, 95 mn

This film is a quest that surveys several battlefields, where forces of love and life confront forces of death and destruction.

So, on the field of migration, people exiled in certain European countries are often rejected, but solidarity associations fight to keep doors open beyond borders.

On the climate front, where the future of living things is at stake, many young people - and also the not-so-young - are getting involved in concrete ways to limit ongoing warming and prevent the extinction that threatens many species.

In the field of human and political relations, the precept "thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" is very often contradicted by tendencies towards aggression and hatred.

Along the way, links between migration, natural disasters, wars and violent repression are being revealed and clarified.

The fight against disease, waged day after day by caregivers, culminated during the Covid pandemic. This crisis, which aroused fears and imposed barriers, also prompted remarkable gestures of solidarity.

The vital aspect of these battles is revealed through actions and testimonies, as well as through drawings, poems and books.

And life goes on... is immediately relevant to current debates on migration, climate, biodiversity, health and murderous violence.

The screening will be followed by a friendly drink.
