Atomes crochus
A chronicle of the political history and the industrial saga of La Hague. Its director chose to give this inquiry the feel of an intimate journal. Born to farmer parents in Herqueville, a village of La Hague, he has been both a privileged witness to and a critical observer of geographic and social change. In the early 60s, this wild headland of the northwest Cotentin in Normandy went through a major upheaval with the implantation of an atomic complex for the reprocessing of plutonium. How did the director's parents and all the peasants of this remote canton experience the upheavals in their countryside ? What did they know then of the supposedly radiant future in store for them ? What dreams did they nourish ? What illusions did they harbor ? Site of a major national cause, La Hague harvested the fruits of its nuclearization. But it paid the price. Too many secrets and lies, fears and rumors, too much sound and fury came with its metamorphosis. Thanks to many testimonies and often rare archive footage, the film relates this human adventure in all its complexity.
