  In 1975 director Nicolas Philibert (Etre et Avoir) was a young assistant to film-maker Ren'' Allio. Together they made 'Moi Pierre Rivi''re ayant ''gorg'' ma m''re ma soeur et mon fr''re' ('I Pierre Rivi''re having cut the throat of my mother my sister and my brother') a little-seen film based on the disturbing true story of a peasant who murdered his family in 1835. All the main parts in 'I Pierre Rivi''re' were played by non-professional actors from Normandy. Here thirty years after the film's release Philibert takes his camera back to the region to learn about the lives of its stars during the intervening years. Weaving through time - between 1975 the present time and the nineteenth century - Philibert creates yet another captivating documentary.
