Laduz

Thomas Lallier

2016 France DOC / EXP 18 '

After a talk with the girls, Géraldine and François have taken their decision : the family will leave the countryside. But leaving also means leaving the house where the daughters grew up before they turn teenagers. It means leaving the place the parents dreamt of, closer to the nature, where the time stretches.… François now seems to know what the countryside is all about, even if he will definitely miss the quiet pace of the place. Géraldine would have liked to stay, but accepts her family’s will. In the village of Laduz, the house will remain in its emptiness, as the place of childhood only filled with the memories of the family’s story.
