Writer, avid traveler, raconteur, lover of women and alcohol, Ernest Hemingway settled in a bar in Havana. It is here that he writes what will become the opening pages of The Old Man and the Sea.
An enigmatic character arrives, and their encounter turns into a duel between Judeo-Christian morality and the freedom to love without compromise, where truth and lies merge to support our human condition and the harsh fate of existence. Of the necessity to embellish reality to better endure it… isn’t that a temptation we all face?
In French.
