Synopsis
A film posing as a re-constructed analysis of a series of home movies shot by Gerard Fleury before he disappeared looking for the right shot to complete a film he was working on about the Normandy village of Le Thuit. The footage shows his family and household staff walking around the grounds playing games. Guerin intercuts this real footage with fake b&w footage of the same location and adds color scenes which purport to show the activity that may have occurred off-camera.
