Martigues 1954.
In the sunlit streets of Martigues, 1954, four young girls gather on stone steps near a communal water fountain. The scene is set against weathered buildings, one wall plastered with posters reflecting the post-war political climate. Messages call to unite, protest German rearmament ("A BAS LE REARMEMENT ALLEMAND"), and announce a "Grand Ball of Peace," while a sign on the fountain warns that the water is non-potable.
