For much of his life, he has witnessed the separations of the human world on screen, but at nearly seventy, he cannot express the moment of death in front of the camera. While the crew takes a break, the seasoned actor visits an old friend on the blue coast. He arrives at an abandoned mansion and encounters a child filming a horror movie, evoking the connection between the boy in "The 400 Blows" (1959) and his first encounter with cinema; he dreams of meeting his once-beautiful lover's soul, rekindling a lifelong romance. As life comes to an end, he finally understands how to coexist with death. Atsuhiko Suwa's love letter to the French New Wave allows Truffaut and Godard's beloved Jean-Pierre Léaud to immortalize past and present in light and shadow. And so he sings a dirge for the lion, transforming it into a tribute to life, accompanying dreams.
