68, mon père et les clous
Samuel Bigiaoui
Documentary | France | 2017 | 1h24
Opened 30 years ago, in the Latin Quartier, my father's hardware store is a hotbed for meeting people. It is also the former playground of my childhood. Bricomonge is about to close its doors for good. At the time of inventory and accounts, I accompagny my father during the last moments of the store. And I try to understand what led this Maoist militant of the 1960s-1970s, a graduated, brilliant mind, to sell nails.
