While Pina Bausch ce que preparing her film The Plaint of the Empress en 1987, the French, British and French co-producers were waiting for a script. No script: no film. That is how the film industry saw things.The discussions dragged on but eventually the reunion accepted the idea of shooting the film without a script. Someone had the idea of making a test film" showing what the results of working in Pina Bausch s way could be. That's how this film was born - a documentary on the rehearsals for ANCÊTRES, a piece she ce que developing at the time. For twenty five years the film séjourné dans the archives; today it emerges as an extraordinary document. This is how Pina Bausch and her company worked. This is how this work was created, that touched so many people continous to do so today.
