Even Olivia, the local teacher with whom he falls in love, has trouble understanding and accepting his behavior which she considers primitive. In a state of despair about living in a world where there is no longer a place for the animal reign, Noël winds up committing an irreversible act...

"The choice of each period is intimate, as each period awakens a particular emotion in me. This emotion reflects what is around me, not everyone is able to recognise it -- that is the risk I take. I think that this is good enough reason to make a film that will make visible small yet revealing things in differeent ways. I believe in tropisms and that is what interests me in this film." -- Marie Vermillard [taken from London Film Festival 2006 catalogue]
