The Lord's ride
La BM du seigneur
Jean-Charles Hue
For the Yeniche, a traveller community, respect for elders and religious fervour go hand in hand with vandalism. Fred Dorkel is one of them: feared and revered by his own people, he makes a living from stealing cars. One night, his life totally changes when an angel appears to him. For Fred, it is the sign of a second chance that he must seize. He decides to go straight, but this choice brings him into conflict with his family...

Artist and video filmmaker in search of his origins, Jean-Charles Hue tries to capture fragments of life and the biographical stories of a Romani/Yeniche family which he has made into a living symbol of a constant metamorphosis of identity. Five short films show this: L'Oeil de Fred (2007), Y'a plus d'os (2006), Un Ange (2005), Perdona mi Mama et Quoi de neuf docteur (2004). La BM du Seigneur (The Lord's Ride) is his first feature. "One night it seemed obvious to me that if God wanted to visit us, we the poor Bohemians, it could only happen if he came in one of those big cars that professional thieves use for their solidity and their reliability. Because they place their lives and their fears on the altar of these vessels which slip through the night and brave the tempests of an urban odyssey, not only.
