Truth and doubt are inseparable. There’s no such thing as an absolute truth, it can’t be exactly described, we would need too much words. Sometimes you have to look for details. There you’ll find motives that colour and guide, which you’ll have to filter and interpret. You’ve got to build truth, with doubt. A Simple Truth looks at the way small gestures and little words define personal recollections and collective memory, how they hide or reveal details.
