Saïgon-Sainte-Livrade, aller simple pour l'oubliSaïgon-Sainte-Livrade, one way ticket to oblivion
Saïgon, 1956. Thousands of French people of Indochinese extraction are leaving Vietnam with a heavy heart but harbouring the wildest hopes about their new homeland. 1,200 of them arrive in Sainte-Livrade-sur-Lot, a small town near Agen. The families settle in a disused military camp and have to deal with a harsh winter in a dilapidated place. Fifty years later, the camp has hardly changed. It is even more dilapidated. 120 permanent residents - among them about thirty elderly persons from the first generation – still live there. This documentary recounts fifty years of rootlessness and fight against oblivion with moving personal stories and burning issues about the renovation of the place.
