L' Anglais

'L'Anglais' is the story of a place: The Haute Vallée de l'Aude and the eastern part of Ariège in the French Pyrenees, but not only. It is also the story of a friendship between a teenager and a giant that defies the logics of time. It is a story of re-incarnation, the two main characters' adventures take place in the thirteenth century, in the 1930's and 40's and in present time. The action moves from Southern France to Eastern France to Catalonia and England before ending back where it all started. It is a love story, between Will, the modern incarnation of the hero and Yasmina, a girl he meets when he moves over to France to live with his father.It is an un-pretentious (I hope) reflexion on what it means to be European in these troubled times. It also has a lot to do with rugby, food and classic Rock.
