Artémise portrait d’une femme ordinaire

“Artemise was born in Albi in 1900 and now watches the year 2000 approaching in the same house in Albi where she lives alone, and almost blind, now. Because her memory is not mine, because she has something to say, about life, love, motherhood, suffering, about passing time … because she is my grandmother also … I wanted her to be somebody, at least during the length of a film”. (Joële van Effenterre)
