How can places where fights for freedom have taken place, like here, reflect on history? One function of cinema is to ponder this relationship by filming the landscape as a sensitive surface where we try to bring out, with the necessary tools for image and sound, a certain figure of the past. It reveals itself by merging with the present in a loud echo that restores its full political dimension. With an artist (Grünewald) who was engaged in the Peasants' War (1525).
