Driven by a desire to discover, understand and share different ways of life, Naïma Lecomte chose to follow the course of the Touques, a river that flows from its source across the land before emptying into the sea, separating Trouville from Deauville. As she walks along its banks, she explores the landscapes, neighbourhoods and human presence that mark its course.
The Touques, which connects the Pays d'Auge to the English Channel, has long served as a waterway for the transport of goods, playing a major role in the economic development and identity of the riverside towns.
Naïma's documentary work, shot in medium format film, offers a sensitive portrait of the areas bordering the Touques and the Rivière Morte, an old branch of the river that has been isolated since 1863.
