The documentary “Lucien Hervé” traces the eventful life of Lucien
Hervé, a multi-talented painter and photographer. Between 1949
and 1965, Lucien Hervé was Le Corbusier’s photographer of choice.
It was thanks to this long collaboration with the world-renowned
French architect that Hervé came to be one of the leading
photographers of the 20th century. A Hungarian Jew who emigrated
to France in 1929, he was a fanatical artist with a passion for life.
Photography was a later vocation. He was successively a fashion
designer, pianist, wrestling champion, trade union leader, director,
journalist and painter. When he achieved fame as a photographer
after the Second World War, it was rather in spite of himself.

In the spring of 1975, after giving an interview for German TV, Stefan
Theme son lost his memory. He rather enjoyed this freedom.
He was a philosopher, his wife Franciszka bi-abstract painter,
together they were probably the first avant-garde couple of artists in
Poland.
This their love story. Franciszka and Stefan Themerson lived and
worked together for almost sixty years. First in Poland, then in France
to eventually settled in England. The only time when they were
separated was the outbreak of the Second War but even then they
remained connected. The film is retracing the story of this unusual
and unique union.
