A tiny ad in a local newspaper catches Cédric Sapin-Defour’s eye: a litter of Bernese Mountain Dog puppies need homes. A lonely, single, gym teacher and mountain climber in the French Alps, Cédric visits the dogs and immediately falls for a puppy with a blue collar who steps over his siblings to get to him.

"В моих мемуарах образ Дягилева остался живым и, как я смею думать, правдивым, но этот образ был слишком интимным: он был эскизом портрета Сергея Павловича Дягилева, а не С. П. Дягилева, великого человека, создателя новой художественной культуры, создателя новой эстетики, создателя "Мира искусства" и Русского балета. Я так живо представил себе это, что наедине с самим собой, перед самим собой густо покраснел и сейчас же откинул для себя возможность этого.

The Southern Fault Line explores the under-appreciated division in the South between the oligarchic rule of plantation owners and industrialists on the one hand, and the more democratic mindset of the mountain-dwelling small farmers on the other. These two mindsets were in continual tension from the 1800s to the 1960s, when the adherents of the more democratic side of the struggle capitulated to the oligarchical side in response to the Civil Rights movement. Bryan Jones draws from his own family's centuries-old history in the region to explore the rise and fall of the "two minds" of the South.
