In the parking lot of their business, in the school courtyard, in front of the tax center or the Palais de l'Elysée, men and women have chosen to set themselves up by fire. Beyond the various facts that have remained without echo, LE GRAND INCENDIE recounts these acts of extreme dispute and confronts official communication with the voice of witnesses.

The double -voice interface of the documentary gives to hear the exceptional testimonies that these men and women add to the community and proposes to confront the reactions of the institutions of the country and the denial of the protesting of these acts. Using the aesthetics of the recordings of a seismographer, the speeches are taking shape simultaneously on a roll of scrolling paper.

At any time the Internet user can click on the curve of his choice to reveal the image associated with these words. He thus spawns his own path on the meaning of this confrontation of speeches.
