La Sainte Catherine Stéphan Wojtowicz | | Photo DR - Didier Brice |
| | | 1919. At a time when the Homeland, trying to be grateful for, has come up with the idea of putting a hero in the public square with a bayonet in one hand and a flag in the other, Private Plumet gets stuck with the job of being a one-footed model, the other one having been offered up at the Chemin des Dames. The great Gilbert Grancouraud, sure of himself and of his talent, will strive to create the ‘masterpiece.’ Captain Cazeaux, who has only seen war from afar – extremely far – bustles about in an attempt to maintain control of the situation. And Catherine is standing by… |
| “My soldier was coming back from Verdun, but the story would probably have been quite similar if he were returning from Normandy, Algeria, Bosnia, Irak or anywhere else.”
Stéphan Wojtowicz
“Stéphan Wojtowicz portrays mankind’s universality without disowning his legacy from Courteline. And his soldier returning from Verdun could just as easily be taking part in the Normandy invasion or trudging through the Iraqi desert.”
