May be i can explain why i like so much Vietnam since the first day.

I remember when i was a young boy.

i live here in this village in France. here

It all begins with my grandmother.
She tells me everything.
the respect
The rural world
Hard life
The link with the family
The proximity in village life.
 

all i need to unterstand Vietnam today.

I  love my hometown, but when it was time for find work no way for stay here... i need go outside and i discover what is the world.. so sure i want to explain why i love so much Vietnam, but before i just need talk about my life before.

I was a bad schoolboy, even if i meet great teacher so like Monique Stalens. She teach Theater with me in school

5 years every week and every week end i follow her daughter Juliette Binoche.

At this time i listen and learn all from Monique. She give me books and advices. I will become an actor.

on the beginning i was I was conscientious objector...but what is this sentence...

yes at this time if you don't want go in A military barracks, become a An officer to learn how to kill people.

If you think that in france at this time, you can become a civil partner for your country.

not 1 year but 2 years. because you are punished... you are a bad boy, you need work more.

I meet here François Hardy and Francois DUBOIS a great man. He dye just later, accident, but i work many with him in NGO UCPS...

At the same time i learn photography with my teacher Gerard Beneton in this area  Le club photo de Lamotte Beuvron

I work hard because everybody around me work hard. 

I become a slave in the mass distribution. I work 80 hours a week and I am paid only 39 hours ... I am tired, I always have back pain and I am given more work. They tell me. You were a good leader before, you become mediocre.

I meet a young woman at the same time... she work hard too.
