Overview

Gaston Rollinger, an elderly poet and film-maker, lives alone in his childhood home in the astonishing landscape of Esch-sur-Alzette, a very special place where industrial relics meet wild nature. He draws all his inspiration from this place, and tells Fränz Hausemer many of his secrets, even though some of his landmarks are gradually beginning to disappear. This portrait of a singular man is interspersed with spellbinding pieces, the contours of which are drawn from Rollinger’s own poetry.
