Synopsis
In New York, north of Manhattan, the Cloisters Museum, the medieval wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York,
contains fragments of France. This museum, in the shape of a Pyrenean abbey, is entirely structured around four cloisters that have travelled from the south of France, more precisely from the Occitanie-Pyrénées-Méditerranée region!
The film will restitute the extraordinary adventure of the cloisters of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert (Hérault), Saint-Michel de Cuxa (Pyrénées-Orientales), Bonnefont-en-Comminges (Haute-Garonne) and Trie-sur-Baïse (Hautes-Pyrénées), from their journey from France to their reconstruction on the other side of the Atlantic. 3D reconstructions will show the cloisters as they were designed in the Middle Ages.
