The Child Who Measured the World

François Cremer is a truck driver who gets out of prison after having served a sentence of several months for a traffic of which he has always proclaimed himself innocent. He soon realizes that he is being followed and threatened by former acquaintances. Alone against all, he has no other recourse than to ask for help to a radio hostess, who had orchestrated a campaign for his release. She becomes frightened and refuses to help him, but he forces her to follow him in his escape. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

‘Small metamorphoses’ is the name of an old game: different body parts are drawn on cardboard to form various characters including a couple and a child. The couple refuses this child in order to forget the failure of their love. Changes take place in the relationships, the clothes, the gestures, as time reveals the truth.
