Franck Landron follows photographer Antoine d'Agata wherever he goes, to the edges of the world, in a discreet presence, camera in hand. He has been doing hours and hours of rushes, patiently, without hurrying or rushing, he wants this film as fair, as honest, and as long as it takes: it lasted six years.

Apostrophes was a live, weekly, literary, prime-time, talk show on French television created and hosted by Bernard Pivot. It ran for fifteen years (724 episodes) from January 10, 1975, to June 22, 1990, and was one of the most watched shows on French television (around 6 million regular viewers). It was broadcast on Friday nights on the channel France 2 (which was called "Antenne 2" from 1975 to 1992). The hourlong show was devoted to books, authors and literature. The format varied between one-on-one interviews with a single author and open discussions between four or five authors.
