Un pas dans la nuit ou la désobéissance

Having served in the French Resistance, and after his experience of clandestine activities and illegality, Raymond Aubrac repeatedly asked himself one question : "What would have happened if I hadn't disobeyed ?" Based on his account fifty years on, the film looks for a hypothetical answer. In the process, resistance fighters, historians, psychoanalysts, and theologians weave together the various strands of a wide reflection on the very notion of disobedience. Archives from the Second World War complement the debates. The film avoids falling into nostalgic evocation, however, as it proposes a fascinating and still pertinent reflection on the way in which our societies function and the role individuals play. With Lucie and Raymond Aubrac, Jean-Pierre Vernant, Gérard Miller, François Bloch-Lainé, Pastor Alain Houziaux, Jacques Sémelin, Serge Ravanel and Claude Gruson.
