On the French Riviera, two gangs of children compete in cliff-diving contests. Aged between five and seven, the children in this hybrid of fiction and documentary race around on miniature motorbikes and clash with one another. Drawing on Romeo and Juliet, the film follows Géo as he befriends Eve, a girl from the rival gang. Behaving like miniature adults, the young protagonists gradually discover a larger world shaped by friendship, loyalty and pain. The latest film from celebrated cinematic provocateur Bruno Dumont was presented at Cannes Directors’ Fortnight.
