    PAPA S’EN VA EN GUERRE tells the stories of those children whose fathers – French military soldiers – went to fight in Afghanistan, risking their lives.
    How do these children live their daily lives during this separation? What are their relationships with their father during the days preceding the departure – and the days following the return? How do they cope with the fear and, sometimes, the loss? Those are some of the questions this documentary tried to answer.

    Some years ago, director Géraud Burin des Rozier and I already teamed on a project involving the war in Afghanistan. This 2009 documentary (almost similarly titled “Papa part à la guerre”) focused on the French soldiers and their mission in Afghanistan. This time round, we went through the mirror to speak about the families who stay in France, waiting with hope and anguish for any piece of news.
    Musically, I was interested in the blending of those notions of pride, courage, fear, loss and relief. The score needed to be subdued and respectful, yet it had to express the joyfulness of youth too – we were talking about children, with children games and children vision of life. So the music had to balance between gravity and light heartedness.
    This is a project I am proud to be part of: a touching and respectful documentary.
  2. Congratulations! That's cool. I just discovered your that your music is on Spotify and I've been listening to this score this morning. It's very nice! I'm a huge fan of the piano, and I like how you've highlighted it in this score. I'll have to give the rest of your stuff a listen shortly. Congratulations again on the nomination!
