A woman comes to Roissy in search of a military canteen, intending to recover the personal effects and photographs of Jean Péraud – a photographic reporter killed in Diên Bien Phu. Péraud's former comrades are there and strike up a conversation with a woman. As the socontinues, she raises questions about the place of war reporters and photographers. Are they victims, fighters or mere messengers? What risks do they take in order to bear witness?
