Nos paysages mineurs is a poetic exploration of a love story compressed into a one-hour train ride, set in the 1970s. It follows the intertwining lives of Liliane and Paul over seven years, unfolding with cinematic undertones and accompanied by music from cellist Vincent Ségal. The play reflects on the passage of time and life’s fleeting moments.

Marc Lainé’s two plays, combining theater and cinema, offer a tender portrait of the “boomer” generation, blending intimacy and political reflection, and can be experienced together for a deeper emotional journey.
