In the North of France, the tradition of "Gayant" (“Giant” in the regional dialect) has no commercial purpose, it is borne of love and community. In this world, globally threatened by the power of money within an absurd financial system, these traditions remind us of the essential.
Thomas is French and has lived in New York for 6 years. He feels homesick and decides to return to France with two American friends. In the city where he grew up, during three days of festivities, a family of giant puppets made of wicker parades, inspiring the awe of spectators.
Our friends encounter one surprise after another and meet local figures who share the love of the region. They experience the excitement of parading with those puppets – which, although made of wicker, seem to come alive. They feel renewed with the assurance that humanity is capable of ingenuity based on common cause and shared values.
