He sketches a scene from his film [Le Testament d'Orphée], with captions: "roulotte - ici mère qui allaite un môme - ici très beau gosse gitan [...] ici très belle gosse gitane se tirant les cartes [...] ici mon homme cheval qui épluche des légumes." He adds: "You'd need some very pretty faces, and by the end of the film, a lot of faces sobbing flamenco. Don't worry about the obstacles: our role is to learn how to jump them, theirs is to get higher and higher"...
