C'est la vie
Synopsis
As per usual, Cadinot sees our universe differently. Making things happen, having the audacity to obtain what one wants or who one desires: c'est la vie! Letting oneself be carried by the general motion and voluntarily submitting oneself to the desires of others: c'est la vie! Creating a future by breaking a past choice: c'est la vie! Stopping everything and taking time to take and give intense pleasure to two or three people wherever one happens to be: c'est la vie! In a city, the young man, a married workman, a librarian, a nurse, a clerk - each in turn come up against the reality of existence! Let yourself be penetrated! It's our life! This film takes you even further than "Double en Jeu".
