Sons of the Wind
Original title: Les Fils du Vent
A film by Bruno Le Jean
They are Angelo Debarre, Moreno, Ninine Garcia and Tchavolo Schmitt. They are guitarists. They are gypsis. They play and perpetuate the music of Django Reinhardt. They have also a certain sense of humor, of friendship and a personal way to live their life standing. Penetrating in tiptoe in their camps, their caravans or their apartments, we discover between notes and words, a community that preserves an authentic and particular way of life, a taste for difference, where in spite of difficulties, the important thing is the pleasure of playing guitar.

Bruno Le Jean
In the 80’s, Bruno Le Jean collaborates with Ettore Scola (Le Bal). Eager to direct, he begins in 1991 by writing and directing Album, an Arte musical show and keeps on with video clips (for Bernard Lavilliers, Youssou N’Dour, Salif Keita, Renaud), ads and docu-dramas. Noticed by Canal+ at the end of the 90’s, he collaborates and creates sketches for comedy shows such as 'Groland' and 'Les Guignols de l’Info'. In 2007, he directs a TV series Henaut President adapted and soon to be released on cinema screens in 2013. After Sons of the Wind, Bruno develops his first feature film.
