Jenna Hasse : 2014
In August
It is August, early in the morning. Six-year-old Margaux wakes up. She goes to the window and sees her father putting objects and boxes into his car. Her mother is still sleeping. A story about the final moments between a father and his daughter before he leaves their home – for good, as it seems. Although very young, children like little Margaux can ask very mature and "grown-up" questions and the film tackles the contradictions of Margaux's childish nature and her awareness of the serious nature of the situation she is in. She can smell changes in this August morning – a morning which promises to be a singular and significant moment for the little girl. Margaux will never again be a child in the same way. Jenna Hasse's debut short film premiered at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs at Festival de Cannes 2014, and screened at Zagreb Film Festival 2014.
