Philibert's documentaries are well recognised for managing to equal the emotional depth normally produced through great fiction, and this film is considered his most successful to date, having premiered at EIFF. To Be and to Have documents one year at George Lopez's one-room school house in the remote dairy farming region of Auvergne.
