At the end of the eighties, five years before Yves Gibeau's death, Gérard Rondeau arrived at his place unnannounced with an amateur movie camera, asking him to show him his presbytery room by room.

This moment is an exceptional and unique document: Gibeau, who had the habits of the collector, describes his way to rank his library - French and foreigh litterature, his full collection of La Pleiade books, his collections of theater, wat, etc, books. He also shows his personal museum of objects from World War I, collected through his whole life. This is the visit of a singular house of a great haunted by war novelist.
