Everyday objects filmed in a Provençal landscape, as evoked by Francis Ponge in his writings. Little by little, this ‘mute world’ that ‘is our only homeland’ is revealed, and these ‘returns of joy, refreshments of memory, objects of sensation’ come to life, what Ponge called his ‘reasons for living’.
