Using unseen footage of the film “Le Navire Night”, Duras traces a travelling shot through the streets of Paris, from the Bastille to the Champs-Élysées. The blue tones of early morning contrast with the urban tinge of traffic lights, cars and buildings. The colours extend themselves to the memories of millenarian hands which fascinate de the director as the carry with them the silent human condition – the passing of time.
