Désert

Désert tells the story of Rahimé Valladier, known as the Mexican, who arrives in France as part of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show Tour during the Paris World Fair. His journey leads him to seek the Holy Spirit, a treasure left by his Protestant ancestors from the Cévennes. The film captures the tension between newfound religious freedom and the struggle of the Cévennes people, who faced economic decline and cultural erosion due to the imposition of the French language in schools.

The animation genre allows for a creative exploration of these historical and cultural themes, making it a distinct piece for collectors interested in animated works that address deeper societal issues. The narrative reflects the challenges faced by the Cévennes people, highlighting their fight for survival and the preservation of their culture against external pressures.
