EN ATTENDANT JEAN-PAUL

Waiting for Jean Paul tells the story of a castle that waited 700 years to be reborn. One man was responsible for this resurrection: Jean Paul!

Rocafort Castle was built in the heart of the French Alps in 1090 and was destroyed in 1305. For 7 centuries, no one looked after it, and the building’s ruins became buried and forgotten. Until the year 2000… It waited 700 years for Jean Paul.

It is a very personal film that intertwines the intimate with the local community. Through his daily labor, Jean Paul revives a whole valley’s historical and cultural heritage.

11 awards for Best Documentary and more than 25 official selections in various international film festivals.
