It’s the story of that “belle époque”, the era of great technological advances that began with the invention of the cinematograph, the Universal Exhibition, a time when “modernity” was invented in art, when movement and light were captured to tell stories, when means of transport were revolutionized, when male/female relationships were even questioned with Marguerite Durand.
An era that came to a dramatic end on August 24, 1914, with the departure of young people for the front.
