Toda la existencia de la fascinante anciana que da título a este film de Lehman tiene un aire de leyenda. El cineasta define A comme Adrienne de la siguiente manera: “Esta película es un regalo. Un regalo para una mujer. Tiene 77 años, la edad máxima para leer a Tintín. Una noche me invitó a cenar, y hacia el final de la velada, comenzó a recitar historias del folclore persa. Le dije que me gustaría regresar la semana siguiente para filmarla. Se pensó que estaba bromeando, porque muchos le habían dicho lo mismo antes, y ninguno volvió. Pero esta vez sí pasó… La filmé a menudo. Aparece en muchas de mis películas. Quizás el cine ha cambiado la vida de Adrienne, pero lo que es seguro es que ella ha contribuido a cambiar la mía”. De nuevo, la creación es indivisible de la vida real. La película concluye con Adrienne relatando un cuento persa, reflejo de su propia existencia y del cine de Lehman, un artista que siempre ha sabido disfrutar de una buena historia.

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."

This film is based on the true story of Jean Bella, who served as an officer in the Belgian Marine while being convinced, from an early age, that he was in fact a woman. Director Jean-Pol Ferbus follows Jean Bella and makes him talk about his life, psychological and spiritual experiences and reveals the true poet who remained undisclosed for most of this person's life. The film ultimately isn't about transexuality but about loneliness one can experience when he/she feels very deeply that she/he belongs to the two sexes and this in a deep, almost religious, fashion, to such an extent that sexuality itself is being erased from one's life. Jean-Gina Bella is a woman in the body of a man who bravely lived a life on the sea, eventually fighting the elements, talking to God when lost on the immense solitary ocean. This testimony is a very touching and poetic one.
