The idea for Métamorphose Bleu, Blanc Rouge was conceived in the aftermath of the presidential elections of April 21, 2002, and the civic uprising they sparked.
The concepts of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity became the recurring themes of the week that followed. A few months later, Rozenn Nobilet wanted to examine—with a clear head, free from the heat of the moment—the reality and enduring nature of these values. Are they a somewhat outdated ideal, or the true guiding principle of society? Rozenn Nobilet traveled to Rennes and Paris to gather the personal reflections of people from all backgrounds and walks of life on the French motto and the symbol of the flag. The video presents these testimonials alongside footage of the April 2002 protests and the July 14 military parades.
