Vallomások a tükörben
Egy diptichon második filmje, amely tableaux vivant-ként teremti újra a szürrealista Claude Cahun (1894-1954) fotográfiáit, az írásaiból vett hangalámondás kíséretében. Ezek az élőképek Cahun szövegeivel együtt a nácikkal szembeni ellenálló tevékenységet – amelyet a partnerével, Suzanne Malherbe-bel végeztek Jersey szigetén – és az ezt követő bebörtönzésüket állítják színre.
