On The Pondicherry Side

Dominique Marny

Release date : 08/07/2021

In India in the 19th century at the time of the French counters. A sensual and romantic escape to the rhythm of monsoons and harvests, in the heart of a legendary land.

In the south of India, Pondicherry, the most famous French trading post, experienced a revival during the Second Empire. In the colonnade houses of the "white city" where the Creole families gathered, Juliette Fournel devotes herself to painting. As the compartmentalized world in which she grew up could not suit... In the south of India, Pondicherry, the most famous French trading post, experienced a revival during the Second Empire. In the colonnade houses of the "white city" where the Creole families gathered, Juliette Fournel devotes herself to painting. As the compartmentalized world in which she grew up could not suit her, she sought the help of a young agricultural engineer, Louis Tempête, to escape prejudices and jealousies. At her side, Manon Galbret, who has come from Paris to spend some time in India, falls in love with a solitary and secretive seafarer who, from an early age, has devoted his life to the ocean. From the freshness of the verandas to the governor's balls, from the rice-field poetry to the Hindu temples and ceremonies with dancing bayaderes, from the trips to the country to the spice-filled warehouses, the intimate and teeming chronicle of the French and Indians, their romantic encounters and passions, their rivalries and their pleasures, unfolds.
