“Inanimate objects, do you have a soul? » The wounded objects collected by Georges Banu echo Lamartine’s questions. Wounded objects, wounded souls. The autobiographical dimension is essential: “My apartment, an orphanage of injured objects. I grant them my hospitality, and thus, between us, a relationship of trust is established. I look at them and they look at me too. There is no indifference between us, only the silence of a dialogue that takes place in common solitude! » Georges Banu speaks in this film about the objects that he gathered around him and which accompanied him in his writing and his reflection on art: masks, puppets, sculptures, paintings... These objects demand the tenderness that we feel towards weakened beings and send back, in mirror, the reflection of our own wounds. In their fragility they bear witness to the passage of time, while proudly carrying the torch of what has been saved.

Georges Banu is an essayist who knew how to recreate the story of the modern stage of which he was more than a spectator-witness, one of its fervent actors, on the crest line between theater and life. The idea of the film is to remain in this in-between space that he loved so much, by entering his place of life and work, accompanied by his words, through an adaptation of his last testamentary work, The Wounded Objects.
