The one that sticks to our boots
The one that sticks to our boots
At the end of her studies at the Arts Déco school, the young narrator of this story begins an unprecedented dialogue with her father, a farmer, about the land and the environment, under the pretext of writing it for her final year thesis. Their exchange, often clashing but always affectionate, quickly reveals everything that separates and perhaps opposes the generations.
He, with his personal experience, feels obliged to defend conventional agriculture, even though he knows its faults: we have to feed the planet... She, steeped in alternative culture and nourished by the references of political ecology, clings to her convictions.
What if their respective positions stemmed partly from preconceived ideas? What if the urgent thing was above all to learn from each other?
Marine de Francqueville retraces this clash of values and sensibilities with warmth, humor, and empathy, and implicitly paints a picture of an intense and modest father-daughter relationship. Through their touching shared story, clearly autobiographical, a burningly topical debate is embodied, around the crucial issues of tomorrow's agriculture.
