Just before Varda began her first film ‘La Pointe Courte’ in 1954, she took a photograph on a Calais shore. It shows a naked man staring out to sea while a sitting boy looks into the camera and a dead goat occupies the foreground. Its composition is crisp and definite, its meaning less so. Varda looked at the photo from time to time over the following decades and was compelled eventually to turn her fascination into a film. In it she offers several approaches to the image. First she explores how it marked her transition from photographer to filmmaker. Then she takes the photo as a document belonging less to her personally than to history. Varda researches national and world events that happened the month she took the photo, but none seem to have any bearing on it. She goes in search of the two people. The man, Fouli Elia, was a model in 1954. By 1982 he was a director of photography at Elle magazine. Varda contacts him but he is not interested in remembering. The boy, Ulysse, is the son of Spanish refugees who were friends of Varda. She finds him running a bookshop in Paris and shows him the picture, but he remembers nothing. She shows him a painted copy he once made but he can add no more, replying 'It's reality and fiction.' (She shows the photo to a goat too. It eats it). Varda has added next to nothing to her understanding. So, since the boy is called Ulysse, she opts instead for a freer interpretation via Greek mythology. This soon becomes tiresome and forced. The boy's mother then appears, telling Varda that 'Ulysse' was really just his nickname all along.
