Un souvenir ...

Great comment Elizabeth! 

I looked it up and there is a connection between the film "Être et avoir" and the Yves Duteil song of the same title.

For those who are interested -

"Être et avoir" (To Be and to Have) is a 2002 French documentary film directed by Nicolas Philibert. The film follows a year in the life of a small rural school in the Auvergne region of France, focusing on the dedicated teacher Georges Lopez and his students. Yves Duteil, a French singer-songwriter, wrote and performed a song titled "Être et avoir" inspired by and created for the film. The song serves as a musical accompaniment to the documentary and captures the essence of the film's themes, which include education, childhood, and the passing of time. The song was released as part of the film's soundtrack and has since become associated with the documentary. It reflects on the importance of education and the role of teachers in shaping young lives, much like the film itself. So, while the song wasn't created before the film, it was directly inspired by and designed for the documentary, establishing a strong link between the two works sharing the same title.

Bonne Continuation !
