Every year since 1897, a young woman is élected  as « rosière » of Pessac, my home town. In 1968 and 1979, the movie maker Jean Eustache, a Pessac native, filmed this ceremony.
 In those two movies, we attend the election of the girl in the first part, and then witness the celebration day, on the first of june’s sundays, as requested by tradition.
I was able to film those same moments in 2004. The election criterias had evolved, but the ceremony, in its composition, had remained almost unchanged
