Ardent Other

A film by Alice Brygo

...in ruins…

And now this ?

Nothing left...

...John Martin’s pandemonium…

The capital of hell…

...no longer know how to do this.

Why isn't anyone doing anything?

Crazy...

I didn't even...

...only Paris’s stone heart.

Not the heart of the living.

Some fires can’t be put out...

It’s cold.

We’re cold.

Everything is falling.

We become weak, it’s giving in, and we are dead.

...sad your house is burning.

Don’t worry we’ll make a new one…

We'll come visit and sing songs.

…shocked obviously.

All reunited, in grief, as I speak.

An incredible, an enormous silence.

No one speaks in the crowd.

Very little conversation.

The crowd is completely silent...

It's as if...

It’s over.

The time of solid dreams.

Absolute faith that spans generations…

Exhausted bodies…

Sacrified for a work you’ll never live to see...

It always rises from its ruins…

It’s all over.

Let it burn.

It should burn.

With their flats, their terraces, and the rest.

So that France faces itself.

France, the Church’s oldest child.

So that it sees its own burning.

...surrendered to human immanence.

It should be enough to look… and shut up.

...premeditated ?

I hope there’s no one in there.

How sad…

...city in ashes.

Men reduced to silence...

Now they're gonna dish out the bills.

Unbelievable that we got here.

It’s disgusting.

This country that we defended.

Honestly it’s disgusting.

A generation of fire.

The enemy’s fire...

…that took Andre’s life… Pierre’s…

Here’s the fire, burning the nation.

No one gives a damn.

My brothers...

All these people crying...

I don't get it.

Why don’t I feel anything ?

Fuck it's beautiful though.

It's demonic.

It's really all it deserves. Flames.

Oh yeah, not working tomorrow...

…here just yesterday.

We were about to go inside…

It's because of all the molested children...

I remember… If only we had opened our eyes...

When this crowd will shed tears for…

Heaven's door is locked…

Dunno… The dying planet.

The ship is still. It's stuck.

Melting ice…

We are lost…

But hope remains...

...marriage proposal…

Not a good sign.

Seafood.

Stop doubting.

Blocked streets…

One less dick in town. Good riddance.

No one would admit that's why we’re here.

I wish everyone would start dancing...

We could all just be partying…

I wish he was here.

We’d be here, standing together.

Like when we met, the first time...

Around a fire.

Maybe if he saw this…

Something is trying to warn us.

They’ll replace the spire with a 5G antenna.

It’s stunning.

I hope they never rebuild.

Keep moving !

Don’t talk to me this way, who do you think you are ?

We are Parisians, this is our home.

Don’t stay here !

This is a free country, it’s our damn right to watch.

What a mess…

It’s useless what they’re doing.

….completely burned down. My God.

Maybe it’s the birth of a new era...

One in line with this edifice,

that will then truly radiate.

Lead will no longer trap energy but spread it...

Over and over...

Stop taking pictures.

It’s for the sake of History, sir.

We must capture this.

What you’re doing is wrong.

You’re enjoying it.

I’m outraged… Centuries lost…

The apocalypse, man…

Jesus-Christ is at our door.

You are the Church, French people!

This is unreal.

Feels like a joke...

The police were here before it started...

Honestly it’s scary.

I asked a policeman why it’s burning.

The guy knew !

He said it was an accident.

It’s fishy, they already know…

But they’re on their side!

A fire like this doesn’t start out of the blue.

It can’t be an accident.

Get out of my way!

What happened ?

Dad, why is the smoke orange ?

...apparently there were two men up there, juste before....

Did you hear ? It’s the workers that set fire.

Is there proof ?

Yeah, pictures.

The workers…

We saw them.

The workers, no doubt.

Did you know the second biggest church in Paris burned recently ?

The basilica of the kings of France !

A dictatorship is rising.

France is sick.

And if we take that thought further…

In these moments we’re all together but…

…if the state actually protected us…

When I hear this, I don’t feel like I belong.

Repression !

I’m not ashamed to say…

I have no issues with this…

Which world is ending ?

...christianity, family, all those things.

We’re not in France anymore.

It’s beyond that.

This is a very alarming period in History.

France! France!

No freedom of speech…

Shut up !

France! I’m like you!

Please behave sir…

France!

True, it’s sad…

The first supervised injection site in Paris.

I hope they locked up all the pedophile priests inside.

No laughing.

It's not funny.

Apparently, God claimed responsibility for the attack!

There’s no shame here.

Ah well done, that’s witty, congrats!

What makes you think you can laugh?

Get down here!

Are we seriously crying for pebbles?

How indecent...

I’d like to say, God wasn’t inside!

No worries, he’ll make it.

Ignorance is embarrassing.

When you know nothing...

But why? You don’t know me!

You can’t laugh at a tragedy involving six hundred years of history.

You can't.

What tragedy ?

Idiot!

Is that building suffering ?

Do you hear it scream ?

You should be ashamed of yourself!

This is our heritage, shame on you!

Go to Saudi Arabia, you’ll see what it’s like.

Ignorant! Get lost!
