While two peoples are torn apart in a long war, Idaïs and Luan, two teenagers who are not part of the same camp, fall in love.
And want to meet.
A bridge separates them.
Those who cross it are usually killed. Only a cat - the free animal - seems to have succeeded.
They ask a lot of questions - they are teenagers - should I go?
Do I have to do it ? Should I listen to others?

"The call of the bridge is a wonderful hymn to love, freedom,
to the emancipation and reunion of peoples"
"A pure jewel, moving, and which touches the soul..." THE UNION
"Usually the set design contributes to the atmosphere and emotions of a show, but does not create it itself. Here it is moving. A giant dead tree takes up the whole center of the stage. The trunk, built with planks, is cracked in the middle, symbol of the war which separates two communities in enemy camps. The tree expresses the suffering of the innocent nature ; and yet on each side, at the height of a man , a long branch is forked at the end, like a hand that welcomes, seeks, offers itself to each of the two sides."
