- Gael Metroz makes a stunning debut with this documentary that traces a Swiss traveller and writer Nicolas Bouvier's route from Geneva all the way to Sri Lanka. While a lot has changed since the peaceful times of the 50's, Metroz has to leave Bouvier's course to find the essence of Bouvier and the region he loved and wrote about that made Metroz and many others to dream about. Metroz narrates his stunningly filmed footage through many places Bouvier travelled with great affection and insight that makes this film outstanding. The documentary also offers a different picture of the region in the news despite the ordeals of the three decades of war. Gael wasn't present at San Franciso Film Festival because he's currently shooting a film in Pakistan about the Kalash people that are featured in the film. I met with the producers Francine Lusser and Gérard Monier. Yama Rahimi
