There's a (real, unsimulated) couple's argument that Varda and her crew caught on camera. The man strikes the woman once.

Varda reminisces about the name she used in her youth and her decision to change it to Agnes. But it's a voluntary self-reflection.

We see a couple of old people who have more or less severe memory issues, and Varda remembers how her own mother suffered from the same thing.

Recréation d'une scène d'exhibition, un homme montre son pénis à des femmes poussant un landau, devant une cour d'école. L'image est recrée avec un acteur et une prothèse rouge.
Recreation of an adult man flashing his p***s to women with a pram, in front of a school. The scene is recreated with an actor and a rubber prosthesis.
