Cadeau, 1999

Cadeau is a video which questions the meaning of "giving". Jacques Derrida states in The Gift of Death that one gives when he doesn't know that he is giving. Also, the fact of being conscious of the act - to knowingly give - makes it so that one doesn't give at all; one imposes.

How can a person transmit a message or an idea to another? In the video, it pertains to an adult to a young person, and a father to his daughter.
