Tangier Island is metaphor of the absurd. The small piece of land in the Chesapeake bay is sinking into the ocean, threatened by erosion and sea rise level. Each year, the Atlantic ocean swallows more than four meter of land. Tangier is home to 460 souls, every single one of them is a climate change sceptic and a Trump lover. The beloved ocean who fed generations of crab fishermen has now become their biggest threat. In the 2016 presidential election, Tangier granted the Republican's candidate 87 % of its votes, mostly because of Trump's sympathy to Israel. As Christians from the Evangelist church, Tangier's people support the Holy Land in many different ways but mostly financially. If the amercian administration doesn't come up with a solution and dozen of million dollars, Tangier will disappear in the waters in 25 years and its inhabitants will be among the first americans climate refugees.

In Évron, (France) the community of Saint-Martin, the first seminary in France, encouraged the vocations of Catholic priests. After a course of seven years and many sacrifices, about twenty young men become priests each year. A huge figure given the lack of priests in France. The community is distinguished by a subtle blend of tradition and modernity. The average age of priests is 40, compared to 75 in the rest of France. But the masses are said in Latin and the very strict rules of life. Each day starts at 6:45 with a breakfast in silence right before the first mass. There will be three other during the day in between classes of theology and behavior regarding among other topics, abstinence.

In Nanjiecun, right in the heart of China, time has stopped. The village still lives at the time of Mao : same salary for everyone and generalized collectivism. Welcome to the dream world of the Chinese Communists. Calm and silence. Not a sound, if not, from dawn to dusk, the permanent crackling of the speakers, strategically scattered throughout the city and hung in height, a purring supposed to edify the three thousand inhabitants of this small remote village of the Henan Province. They broadcast Mao's best speeches. Welcome to Nanjiecun, paradise of triumphant Maoism. Some live there, others come as one would go to Lourdes, a quasi-religious approach to revive the ashes of the past and see what remains of this communism that was to bring justice, equality, happiness.
