~In 1942, as France is stunned by defeat and more divided than ever,
voices are being raised.
What it Brittany were to become independent? Is it no more than a
pipedream for a handful of delusional people?
Home to the fiercest resistance to the Nazi invaders, and which
took the worst pounding from Allied bombings; steeped in both the
Catholic tradition and Celtic paganism; cherishing the memory of the
pro-Royalist counter-revolution while being a hotbed of Communism:
Brittany, land of liberty above all, is starting to rumble like a volcano
threatening to erupt.
Three brothers will take three different paths, but all three will follow
their path to as far as it will go. The eyewitnesses to their heartbreaking
confrontations are a father who has lost the power to speak
and a young Russian immigrant who has come to tend to him.
Tant que se dresseront les pierres is an ode to Brittany. It asks
important, current questions about a population's identity. Above
and beyond the family saga, it invites readers to look at history with
a fresh eye and to reconsider the present.
