128 views

Is There a Life Before Death? explores the beauty of existence through an intimate exchange between a grandfather and his grandson.
As he approaches the end of his life, Claude speaks with his grandson Marius, who questions him about death. In response, he simply weaves the story of his own life. Through this intimate transmission, the film offers a sensitive reflection on the beauty of life, an awareness of time passing, and the acceptance of death as a natural part of existence, revealing the value of the present and the beauty of each moment lived.
