Part of the FRANCOPHONE FILM CELEBRATION

 

East Coast premiere

A 12 year-old girl’s parents join a controlling religious commune in southwestern France, making her on outcast at school and dashing her dreams of becoming a circus acrobat. Based largely on the director's experience growing up in a community that espoused sharing and solidarity, this feature debut portrays the damaging effects such cults can have on family members, effectively brainwashing them into giving up their true selves for what appears to be a greater spiritual calling.

Speaker: Anjali Prabhu, Professor in Comparative Literature and French at Wellesley College, who works in postcolonial studies, Francophone studies, cultural theory (especially French theory), cinema studies, and African studies.

 

Directed by Sarah Suco

France | French with subtitles | 2019 | 89 min.
