There, you find Gabrielle observing, with her shiny eyes, all thelife in this part of the country: the little hay straw dancing in the wind; theflowers mushrooming on a manure pile; the white and black birds huggingthe shoals crying at low tide; the fireflies whispering at nightfall.Inspired by the eponymous book by Gabrielle Roy, Cet été qui chantait isa show which is all images and gentleness.
