For 2010 Ann has teamed up with Roberto Gomez Martin to make the quirky documentary Chopin’s Dentist which features French dentist, Philippe Riegert, who is on a mission into his family’s past to discover if his great great grandfather was Chopin’s dentist. Like previous generations of his family he is the local dentist in the village of Ardentes, France, near Nohant where Chopin lived with the author George Sand. Four teeth and primitive dental tools have been passed down through the generations of Philippe's family and he believes these are vital clues in his quest to discover the truth. Perhaps DNA tests will reveal all? He also has his great great grandfather’s diary which may help him.
Philippe sets out for England to visit forensic odontologist, Dr. Ron Foden, to help him on his quest to identify ‘Chopin’s teeth’. His journey also re-acquaints him with his old host family 'mum and dad' who he stayed with as a teenager, learning English. |
