Les paroles restent

A documentary film by Pauline Roque

As part of the Journées de l?éloquence festival

For six months, thirty young people from Brussels take part in the Eloquentia competition, training in the art of oratory to raise their voices in public. Among them, Kassy, Nael and Esther make their way. Their words flow and flow. Sometimes they even resist.
As they fail to speak, another voice emerges, bringing them closer to themselves every day.

Pauline Roque paints a touching portrait of characters in the throes of self-discovery.
