Les tremblements

Eleven-year-old Manue and Sophie are best friends. Be it one or the other, their main topic of conversation concerns going out with boys. Manue, her time taken up with a succession of passing fancies, progressively neglects Sophie, who really doesn’t try to grow up. Their shared secrets become shameful and their bond childish. Sophie is betrayed, an incomprehending victim; in some ways, this is her first deception in love.

Samuel is a wild-looking twelve-year-old orphan who has been placed with a nanny, Marie, for several weeks. Marie, who is struggling between her feelings and her need for money, is married to Clément with whom she has two sons, Alexis and Dimitri. Very quickly Samuel will have to get to know this new family and their possible secrets.

Every night, in the heart of the forest, Abel and Nadja challenge the curfew and make love. One night, they discover a place which seems protected from the abstract war which surrounds them. A camp where, among others, Leila, Ivan and Samuel welcome them. Then life is going to waste away very hardly and quickly.
