Tour Eiffel base (Mime segment)

In the story · Tour Eiffel segment

In the 'Tour Eiffel' segment by Sylvain Chomet, the director of The Triplets of Belleville, a little boy tells how his parents, two mimes, met in prison and fell in love. It plays out at the foot of the tower, and the mime silhouetted against the ironwork is the shot people remember.
