The Time of Secrets
Directed by Thierry Chabert
Produced by France Télévisions, TV5 Monde
A nostalgic, gently earnest coming-of-age story set in Provence that captures the social anxieties and small dramas of childhood with warmth and playful affection.
The story takes us from the dear Garrigue to the secondary school where Marcel is first ill at ease because he is a scholarship holder and because he went to the grade school (the other bourgeois pupils had probably a private tutor). A fight against a rich kid ,that augurs badly for what is to follow. (to be followed in "Le Temps des Amours" )
