Synopsis

“Finishing a text doesn’t mean being published, being published doesn’t mean being read, being read doesn’t mean being loved, being loved doesn’t mean being successful, and success offers no promise of fortune.”

“A Pied d’œuvre” tells the true story of a successful photographer who gives up everything to devote himself to writing—and discovers poverty. This radical account, blending clarity and self-deprecation, portrays the journey of a man willing to pay the ultimate price for his freedom.
