Je m'appelle Garance

2010 · 80 min

Through the deployment of her imagination, a little girl invents her own destiny, recreates her own story and builds her personality. Filmed between five and nine years old by her grandfather, whose camera functions as a play instrument, a stimulator of her fabulous vein, she builds imaginary constructions, in which her I is full of others, to gropingly shape her own identity.
