This song is from one of my favorite albums, 'Secrets of (from?) the Beehive'. I saw Sylvain during this tour. He was a bit dour (IMO) and the musicianship of all amazing. The audience was reverent.
My husband downloaded the film in this clip. 'Ivan's
Childhood'. Hope it has subtitles. I'll probably have a real crying jag....I miss film. When it was created on film. Being written with light and shown through light. Like shadow puppetry.

Sounds like the title of a book you would write. Or the name of a band.

Nice to have a non western viewpoint.I don't know this film.
