A film in three parts and with three main characters: two women and one man. Three parts from different periods of time in a history that we all share. "It may not seem so, but Nous sommes tous encore ici is a very cruel film. A film in three integrally embedded parts... Thus three characters. But above all, three anchored periods of time, three logical periods. First, a crucial philosophical questioning of life, justice, equality (with excerpts from Plato's Giorgias). Second, an extension of that reflection via a naked figure, tracing the contours of human horror – a development of which we will see functions as a pass door (alluding to the theatre) (with fragments from Hannah Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism). Third, the couple as a hypothesis of happiness: the space of love but also the place of a certain kind of work, permanent and vital. The work of love, without which there is no lasting couple." (Olivier Seguret)
