"From Yellow loves"

Tribute to Tristan Corbière. Images of the sea, stars, muses, the poetic universe of Tristan Corbière. Evocation of the Conlie camp, where thousands of Breton volunteers were taken during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1871, in order to do their classes there. For lack of means, or fear of a "Chouan peril", these soldiers never received either the equipment or the training necessary for combat. Some of them were however sent to fight, but almost disarmed.
