Fifty years ago, a huge industrial site comprising steel and petrochemical factories was built on the western side of the port of Dunkerque. To allow the oil tankers to dock close to the refineries, a 7-km-long sea wall was constructed: the Break sea wall that borders a beautiful beach where, despite the dangers, numerous bathers come in the summer. The sea wall draws a line between what we consider being part of nature (beach, sea, waves) and the overwhelming industrial dimensions of the refineries and factories. Derived from a collective project, the film looks into a man-made world, providing insights into what a consumerist lifestyle entails and the impact it has on our lives.
Frédéric Touchard (1961) is a screenplay writer, director, documentarist and directs musical video clips. His works include Crocodile (1993) and the documentaries La fanfare ne perd pas le nord! (1999), Au pays de citron (2002) and L’Afrique orpheline (2004).
“My incidental encounter with the Break sea wall was a revelation: the site was an ideal stage for mounting a global reflection on our modern lifestyle. Starting from that situation, I tried to understand the close ties between industry and our daily life. The sea wall, like a promontory, provides an observation point from which the beach and the bathers and the factories on the other side of the basin can be watched. I wanted to make a documentary using different “actors” who live, work, and visit the area. I tried to understand the concerns of each of them."
