Everything you always wanted to know about pornography (but were afraid to ask).

Justin & Almina leave Paris and the threat of an expulsion. They hitch-hike to Nevers, where an uncle lives. The cars do not stop. Their journey, on foot, along roads and fields, takes them to edge zones. As they wander, the slowly realize how far away they now stand from each other, their love and desire now gone.

From 1988 to 1994, near Père Lachaise cemetery on the eastern side of Paris, the Etablissements phonographiques de l’Est (Eastern Phonographic Venue), aka EPE, was a multidisciplinary venue hosting the crême de la crême of the international experimental, radical, industrial, noise, avant-punk scene. A record shop during the day, an underground venue at night hosting in its basement gigs, performances, screenings of video art and experimental cinema, readings, bondage workshops, fanzine exhibitions. At the junction of late 80’s and early 90’s, EPE saw the end of industrial music and the birth of the still highly influential avant-punk scene.

Transporting packets across the wooden bridges through gaseous swamps, sometimes stopping at La Touille for lunch : such is life of the Broignes. So long as they can keep it up.
