Monday, July 10 at 6:00 p.m. | In NUMÉRO ZÉRO, Eustache sat down with his grandmother, Odette Robert—a key figure in his life and a substitute mother during his youth—for a feature-length conversation across a kitchen table. The two discuss the harshness of her rural upbringing, her troubled marriage, the deaths of her children, and the deprivations of World Wars I and II. Truncated to an hour for French television and never shown publicly in its full form during Eustache’s lifetime, the full version of NUMÉRO ZÉRO was rediscovered and reconstructed in 2002.
