What happens

Sansa est un film français réalisé par Philippe Haudiquet et sorti en 1970. Peu avant la dernière guerre, le village montagnard de Sansa, situé à 1400 mètres d'altitude, comptait 150 habitants. À l'aube des années 1970, on en recense plus seulement 9. Le documentaire s'interroge à propos de l'effet de l'exode rural sur la vie (et peut-être la mort) de ce village. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
