SCRIPT

[Chanting]

Male voiceover The plague became the affair of us all, and one of the most remarkable consequences was a sudden separation of people who were not prepared for it. Mothers, children, lovers found themselves abruptly divided, prevented from meeting. And while some adapted to being shut in, for others their sole idea from then on was escape.

Female voiceover The world in 2020, described by Albert Camus in 1947. The Plague tells the story of an epidemic in French Algeria.
