France

Km 250

Due to a misfortune, Anne decides to leave Paris. Ten years later, she has built up a new life: a career, a farm, children, friends. She has adopted a new homeland the Morvan, 250 km from Paris. It's a region, which has a long history with Paris: Morvan sent its wood and labor. Paris sent back its children to be nursed. She loves this region and she hates it, as happens when one is attached. Her case is not a unique one, others are half-time denizens of Morvan. How do the original inhabitants, those who have lived there for generations, see them?
The film shows how she, the filmmaker, and they, the other ex-Parisians, live on this land.
