19:30: “Reunion in the time of confinement” by Serge Marizy and Sami Chalak (52 min., 2020)
Will the epidemic wave that sweeps across the island eradicate the values of brotherhood and solidarity that are dear to the people of Reunion? Will Reunionese recognize each other after May 11, 2020? These questions are at the heart of the documentary. Filmed during and after imprisonment, it will provide an instant vision of Reunionese communities battling an invisible enemy.
· 20:45: “Memories of confinement”, an order from the Lazaret of La Grande Chaloupe (52 min., 2021).
This film presents testimonies from thirty actors and actresses from the management of the first period of incarceration in Reunion.
These witnesses represent the sectors of health, justice, culture and sport, education, media, agriculture, industry, communities, associations, elected officials or citizens, and they confide without artificiality about their experience of this unprecedented event.

On Réunion Island, “Poussarli Rafa” organizes every year “Karèm de la Marche sur la Feu” in the Malbar Coïllou Vély Chapel. For David, this spiritual retreat, which precedes the final trial of Fire, is a first. The young repentant hopes that this Karem will be able to free him from a past that is too troublesome to be able to start anew in his life. Guided by Poussarli, he finds himself in a sacred space-time, where the living maintain surprising connections with the forces of the invisible world.
