The day rises on a deserted city, it’s the flat calm… This is Cannes during the shutdown, an overview of what the world is going through in these difficult times.
Then, after 30 seconds, musicians and singers appear. We immediately recognise Elton John’s famous hit “”I’m still standing””. The rhythm is slow at first, then the tempo accelerates! Faces light up, the sun shines… life starts again!
It is on a catchy rhythm that the movie keeps on going. The characters evolve evreywhere in Cannes, in the streets, in the hotels, on the beach… the message is given: Cannes is still standing!
“”I’m still standing””: a timeless song forever associated with Cannes. In 1983, Elton John chose Cannes to shoot his video and make his comeback on the music scene with his most famous song:
“”I’m Still Standing!””
Music and characters are played by the people of Cannes : Restaurateurs, hoteliers, beach attendants, caterers, receptive, incentive and event agencies, have lent themselves to the game to sing and dance on the music of Elton John.
