A big movie about friendship and all the difficulties it may arise., 10 March 1999
10/10
Author: Bernard SCHERLER from Neuchâtel, Switzerland

At the beginning, appears as a nice movie, a bit of a "gentillette" story. As the drama evolves, it a really big movie on friendship and all the kindness, affection, agressivity and frustration it may cause. The characters are painted with subtility, they change during the play and the spectator is not stuck in the observation of one or two preeminent persons, but all a little community living in the country during the 20's.

(Sorry folks, my French is much better than my English, but I think anyone will catch what I'd like to mean).
