“Love is a rebellious bird
That none can tame,
And it is quite in vain that one calls it,
If it suits it to refuse;
Love!
Love!
Love!
Nothing to be done, threat or plea.
The one talks well, the other is silent;
And it’s the other that I prefer,
He said nothing, but he pleases me.”

Collecting Origins #4, together with Origins #6 will result in an exclusive invitation to become L’amour rebelle’s Executive Producer. This will be acknowledged in the credits of the film & registered on IMDb. The full film will be distributed by Figuration to film festivals, exhibitions & events around the world.
