Le vieux commandant
Nika, de poco más de veinte años, deja Ucrania para seguir a su novio Vlad, un soldado recién llegado con base en un campamento militar en Córcega. Nika entonces conoce a Celine, esposa del Comandante Maxime, quien la guiará a través del codificado mundo de los esposos de las mujeres que se quedan. Mientras Vlad se obsesiona con la vida del legionario, Nika y Céline se ven afectadas por la distancia y el sacrificio de lo que esperaban fuera una vida familiar tradicional.
To attain knowledge, man and woman had to be willing to give up their innocence," says Boris Lehman. Life Lesson is a poetic and philosophic reflection on the theme of paradise lost. Some fifty persons illustrate the planet's convulsions and the world's vacillations. Trying to communicate, to commune with the invisible, they cry out, sing out, give out messages, each in their own way, in their own state of solitude. These are like multiple echoes that resemble waves in the water or stars in the sky. " Behind these images and sounds that have been stifled by today's society, Lehman hunts for noises, cries, songs, messages that go astray. He says that if we look at the invisible we may hear the words. He invites us to look beyond the appearances of social life and to vibrate in tune with life's polyphony that is all around us."
