PROGRAMME
THURSDAY, AUGUST 8
Premiere - Primeras soledades (Premières solitudes)
Claire Simon, France, 2018, 100’ DCP (+18)
At an high school in the Parisian suburbs, teenagers talk about their personal stories, their families, their passions and their loneliness, while the city spreads behind their back and at their feet. At their age, they begin to consider leaving their families behind, if they have any, or even running away from them when they are completely broken. On their own, going can be as much good as bad.
