Claude Nuridsany & Marie Pérennou : 2011
The Field of Enchantment
A deserted pond. Two lonely children fall under the spell of this wild place that, little by little, draws them closer to each other and gives them the strength to cope with life. The pond, a place they have chosen as a sort of virgin paradise, a refuge far from the world of grown-ups, becomes a magical mirror through which they discover unknown beings that will return them anew to their own lives. Seen through their eyes, and through their imaginations, the pond becomes a secret kingdom, both marvellous and frightening, thronging with creatures born from dreams or nightmares. The children experience an initiation, brief and intense, from which they will emerge transformed. Both in love with the same kingdom, they break free from their solitude and little by little discover friendship. The film premiered at La Biennale di Venezia 2011.
