Favorite character: Lebrac.

So cute <3. I was moved at the end of this film. I found very interesting the approach of rival villages groups. This rivalry is a thing that still happens today but unfortunately no longer in the innocent way of this film and it made me feel nostalgic for a time I've never lived. I don't know why but sometimes this movie reminded me of Tom Sawyer cartoons (I really love Tom Sawyer <3). Vincent Bres is such a young talented actor.
