L'Île de Lumière, Dominique Probst

This film invites us to a voyage into the universe of composer Dominique Probst. The red thread reveals the original road of our character, his career as a percussionist, his affinity for the theatre, as well as the creative process of some of his compositions. His mother Gisèle Casadesus, his nephew –a conductor and in complicity with Dominique – as well as different other conductors or musicians witness the "sharing" and the human connection that Dominique brings into his work. Departing into musical and visual wanderings around Ile de Ré, the island of his childhood, a resonance is established between the symphonic work "Island of Light" and its creator. Departing also from a biopic, the poetic melting of his journey with expanded moments of this work sensibly unveils the human being behind the character.
