Summary :
Three groups of people, divided according to their age (between 8 and 25), talk together. They are filmed through a two-way mirror and make up a transverse portrait, like a video sculpture of the three ages of man. The blending reflections form a face, "another" face, golden and distorted, because it includes the faces of two different people. The original and moving nature of the images stems from the wholeness of the experience and the relationships that already existed within the groups. The discussions rather reflect an atmosphere, they are the portrait of a group at a moment in time, or aesthetics of representation. As the words go by, certain lighter or playful themes give way to graver, more tragic subjects. Life rushes by. Opinions are transformed. The children grow up. They see finitude and talk about its forms.
