L'opera Mouffe and Saute ma ville
Pregnant with her first child, director Agnès Varda turned her camera on her own neighbourhood, capturing everyday life along the Rue Mouffetard.

Structured as a dreamlike poem, it moves between intimate scenes of young lovers, surreal and disturbing imagery offering metaphors for pregnancy, and documentary footage of street life.
