A scene worthy of a film: French President General de Gaulle and King Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia inaugurate the Guebre-Mariam Mission Laïque Éthio-Française high school.

A scene worthy of a film: French President General de Gaulle and King Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia inaugurate the Guebre-Mariam Mission Laïque Éthio-Française high school. Saint Michael and Saint Gabriel watch over the school and its inauguration. Other guests and dignitaries from Ethiopia and around the world are also present. The camera follows the scene with fluidity and precision, capturing the atmosphere of the school, the French president, the King of Ethiopia, the other guests, and the surrounding landscape through wide panoramic shots. The soft sunlight illuminates the scene, the textures of the building, the president, the king, those present, and, above all, the historical and symbolic significance of this first step.
