Sinossi
Ar Yezh (the language, in Breton) is a documentary that looks at the links to the Breton language today, particularly among those for whom it is not their mother tongue. Different generations echo each other and connect with each other through speech and the territory that surrounds them. This film seeks to give a voice to this language and its embodied variations, often sung. Voices that sometimes carry with them fumblings or doubts. Between transmission and transformation, creation, fears and hopes for this language coexist.
