This 6-minute documentary captures an encounter at a cafe located at 202 Blvd Saint-Germain, underneath the last residence of poet Guillaume Apollinaire. Director Jonas Mekas documents Jean-Jacques Lebel presenting three notable objects to the audience: an autographed book, a Futurist manifesto, and one of Apollinaire's final drawings.

The film is notable for its exploration of the intersection between personal memory and historical context. Mekas' use of personal artifacts allows viewers to connect with Apollinaire's legacy in a tangible way. This film may appeal to collectors interested in the documentary genre or the works surrounding Apollinaire's life and influence in the art world.
