Writer, Nobel Prize for Literature in 2000, playwright, director, translator and painter, director of films in the form of cine-poems, Gao Xingjian has lived in exile in Paris since 1988. If today Gao Xingjian has French nationality, he sees himself above all as a citizen of the world, as a stateless person. This film-portrait will be the story of a lonely man in search of "spiritual self-preservation in order to avoid suffocation by society", whether it be political oppression or the trappings of glory.
