Fifty years after the journey of the Swiss writer and adventurer Nicolas Bouvier to Sri Lanka, film director Gaël Métroz follows the traveler’s footsteps with his camera. Altough he wanted to revive Bouvier’s account, the director ultimately tells his own story. While the Orient has changed a great deal since “L’Usage du Monde”, the fascination for this world persists. The danger and beauty of a journey which loses its innocence.
