Synopse

Marseille, July 1905 – Marcel is overjoyed that at last it’s the summer holidays. He’s looking forward to returning to his home village in the beautiful hilly countryside and above all to seeing his best friend Lili. But an unexpected encounter with Isabelle, a young chatelaine his age with poisonous charm, turns everything upside down. Light-heartedness is replaced by teenage angst and secrets, and Marcel loses his childish serenity when he has to make the acquaintance of the less than intact world of the adults.

Age recommendation: 9 years and older
