- DVD 1: Morasseix [1992, 91 min.]
“Morasseix” is a village lost deep in the countryside: memorable binges, general brawls, woodcock hunts where people confide in each other half-heartedly, unbridled rugby matches and impromptu bullfights with a herd of cows, César has a carefree time of it all. Perhaps a little too much...

On a sweltering summer afternoon on an isolated farm in the Limousin region of France, fifteen-year-old David experiences not only his first bender, but also his first brush with death. His alcohol-induced delirium and rebellion against society lead the teenager to an extreme act.
“Here's a film that stands out in the French cinema of the beginning of this century.There's no need to look for a brother or a cousin - it doesn't have any.
Here's a film with no fixed abode, and yet, for seventy-seven minutes, it never stops digging in search of its roots.” André S. Labarthe
