Film makers Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet seen in private life, as a couple, in agreement or conflict, during the making of their film Sicília! (selected for the 23rd Mostra). To see them at work is a lesson in cinema, filmed with an attentive eye by Portuguese director Pedro Costa. The couple are known for being strict - a blend of theory and practice. They talk about the arduous task of composing scenes and editing which is not always visible to anyone watching the final result. This film is part of a series of documentaries Cinéma de Notre Temps, a series of portraits of film makers by André Labarthe.
