Une maison dans la main

Near a river, the water is rising and houses are disappearing year after year. A house in the hand tells the story of a girl who sets out to rescue her father from the family home. The father doesn't want to leave; he's determined to die in his house, to disappear with his memories. Through this story, sung by a baritone and a soprano, the whole house and its memory come to life, one last time, before being swallowed up forever.
