Une dme d voile
Animation and direction by PIERRE VEILLEUX for the NATIONAL FILM BOABD OF CANADA

A documentary series giving an insight, month by month, into the lives of individual French men and women.

Armistice Day in Lille, the industrial heart of north-east France. Luc Doublet is at the ceremony, torn between feelings of sadness at the memory of those who died and pride in the fact that his flags are draped all over the city. Doublet runs a small family firm which makes flags and products from steel tubing. In a region where factories are closing and unemployment is high, his business is booming.

Luc Doublet is a lively, self-confident and entertaining man. His appearance, wife and house conform to his idea of the perfect French lifestyle. He has a strong sense of family and an equally strong interest in food. On Armistice Day he makes a chocolate cake for the family lunch, as his 93-year-old grandfather remembers the 1914-18 war and the joy he felt when the Armistice was signed.

8: Roland decides that he has heard enough jokes about his weight. Meanwhile Julie is doing some research on the staff.

Anthony Powell's 12-volume epic, A Dance to the Music of Time, is widely regarded as the most formidable single work of British fiction since the war. It is also largely entertaining: its cast of 400 characters ranges from upper-class drawing-rooms to Bohemian London, and a violent death in a hippie commune. They have, in their turn, gathered a devoted set of fans among English-speaking readers.
Tonight's portrait of Powell includes tributes from such admirers as Clive James, Kingsley Amis, Alison Lurie, Robert Conquest and Hilary Spurling.
Most of all, Powell himself talks about his work, which is illustrated by James Fox, as the narrator, and with drawings by Marc.
