The Garden of Delights

In an austere landscape, a droll group of travellers discovers “The Garden of Delights” (Le jardin des délices) by French director and set designer Philippe Quesne and his Vivarium Studio. They recollect fragments of past culture and imagine themselves in the utopia of a different life in uncertain times.
