The film could be presented as an experimental documentary freely inspired by a character who really existed, and who disappeared in the 1980s, known as La Grande Safae. He was a transvestite, and spent part of his life working as a domestic servant for my family, which was quite unaware of his “true” sexual identity. Genuine witnesses and actors tell stories about him and describe this enigmatic figure who for many years was a fantasy figure for me. Three actors – two women and a man – play the role of Safae and help sketch a portrait of this elusive person. By combining real-life events and a fictional approach I raise the question of the mise-en-scène and truth of events while evoking the perception of a troubled identity.
