Comedy
Film Synopsis
Lou is a creative 12-year-old daydreamer who lives alone with her
mother Emma. The latter has put her own emotional life on the
backburner so that she can devote herself to her daughter. It is
a cosy life they have together, but it has its downside. Emma
feels her life is at a standstill and fears she is heading towards
depression, whilst Lou is becoming obsessed with Tristan, the little
boy who lives next-door. The bubble in which they live is ready
to burst when Emma rekindles her love life and Lou crosses the
threshold into adolescence...
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
In the 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
