Les Degling’s

Claude Massot
1978 France 28 minutes French

Yvonne Huriez, 40 years-old, was at the head of the news in 1972. After she was jailed for not paying a TV set, her son committed suicide. But Yvonne refused to give in. She expressed her rage and despair in a book to show that lumpenproletariat is not only found in the Third World. Then she opened “Les Degling’s”, anon-conformist bookshop in Saint-Denis, where she welcomes dropouts and marginal people from the surrounding estates.
