Movie description:
This film is about Gil, a young boy of about ten in a juvenile mental hospital in 1950’s France. Flashbacks recount his conflicts with authority and his strong relationship with Jessica, a similarly rebellious schoolmate. Simultaneously, a compassionate doctor develops a trusting friendship with Gil, which a higher-ranking authoritarian doctor tries to thwart.
A boy of about seven or eight attends an institution for emotionally disturbed children. There, he addresses his anger, falls in love with a female peer (Salome), finds himself befriended by a caring staff member. Is all this enough to help our young hero overcome his trou-bles? A well done film which includes some pretty cinematography and a fantastic score, both of which effectively set the desired mood; recommended! If you don’t speak French, you’re not going to understand a lot of the details, but the overall plot can be generally followed.
