CARROUSEL
In the South of France, an industrial paradise coexists with a natural one, highlighting a paradox of our times.
Between the sand beaches and the gigantic factories, lives a population divided between its attachment to a prodigal nature and the need for industries, which ensure a subsisting economy for the region.
While tractor-trailers roll past, blast furnaces belch smoke and supertankers cross the horizon, people swim, fish, dance and party.
On the edge of the freeway, at the entrance to the town, stands a food truck, Natalie's. She's been here thirty years, observing and catering for the Carrousel of truck coming by her town.
