César Vayssié has recorded the lives of Elsa Michaud and Gabriel Gauthier for a year. As they study Fine Arts in Paris, they experience a love relationship during troubled times, overwhelmed by visuals. Fifty years after the events of May 1968, a globalised violence is even more visible, digital era is now confronted to outlines of stories and the insignificance of gestures. To a background of Elsa and Gabriel’s visuals and images from the internet, with the music of Avia x Orly, this documentary-experiment-journal is the reflection of an unsettled era, a too fast transformation.
Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
