Synopsis :

The Four Times works within the gulf between documentary and fiction, and can be understood in three different ways. It can be seen as a science fiction film without special effects, or as an ethnographic documentary on some parts of the Calabrian Appennine, or as an essay about the human soul. The four episodes tell the stories of four “leading characters”: an old shepherd in the last days of his life; the birth and first few weeks of a kid till its first pasturing under the olive trees; the life of an old chestnut tree in the course of the seasons; and the transformation of the old chestnut into charcoal through the work of the charcoal burners. All four episodes are set on the Ionian side of the Calabrian peninsula and are intertwined with one another in such a way as to make up one single story: the story of one soul that goes through four successive lives.

28 Useful Information

Going from the airport to the hotel : Of course, there will be no problem if you take a taxi, but some of you may prefer to take the train, as it will be as fast and much cheaper. Here is how it works:

­ From Orly Airport: Take the RER C from the station called “Pont de Rungis Aéroport d'Orly” in the direction of Pontoise. Then stop at Bibliothèque François Mitterand, then you can look on the maps below how to walk to the hotel. The train trip should last normally 20 minutes.

From Roissy Charles de Gaulle: Take the RER B from Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1 in the direction of Robinson or Saint Rémy les Chevreuses. Then stop at Chatelet les Halles. Finally, take the Metro line 14 in direction of Olympiades and stop at Bercy. Then, you will be very close from the hotel on the rue de Bercy.
