In early 1970s Madagascar, a ten-year-old boy, living the carefree expat life in one of the last French military bases abroad, gradually becomes aware of another reality. Frequently poignant and always visually spectacular, a masterful portrayal of colonialism through a child’s eyes.
Garrison life in a little jewel case of earthly paradise, as if cut off from the world, where people invite each other in to kill time, where they dance in the heat, but where cracks also surface underground, those of couples and those of a twilight nostalgia for the colonial grip. CINEUROPA
