IL NOUS FAUT DU BONHEUR
We need Happiness

France 2010 52’

Directed by: Alexandre Sokurov, Alexei Jankowski

The story of a Russian woman who, years ago, moved to Kurdistan for love. Far from her country, in a faraway place, the woman has withstood physical pain, wartime violence, the death of loved ones. Now she’s grown old. Her movements are calm, measured, full of wisdom and determination. Her life story offers up to the camera a not standard figure, simple and poetic at the same time, transparent, yet full of profound mystery.
