BETHUNE ON THE NILE
1 x 90 '
Synopsis
"Mektube!" as they say out there on the Nile, where the amazing story of Cathy Vaillant, undulating in her veils as an oriental dancer, has unfolded. But to get there and turn belly dancing into an art although she had never practised it, this modest young woman from Béthune in France's industrial north and without a drop of oriental blood in her veins, has been through the ringer. This thorn-strewn road (which also implies roses), like a story from the 1,001 Nights, Cathy Vaillant has lived it, body and soul, her fragile appearance hiding a will of steel.
