Demi-Tarif

French. With English sub-titles!

An intimate look into the life of three neglected children. Two sisters and a brother, each from different fathers share an appartment in Paris without a mother. The children expect her, they love her - sporadically she comes in the night and has left again in the morning.

They don't like going to school. Sometimes when it gets dark they run into the streets naked, intentionally to catch a flu so they don't have to go to school. We follow the children as they steal, beg and lie their way through childhood, purposely to evade adults and their influences, and as a result turning us viewers into voyeurs for about an hour. A chilling experience.

Excellent viewing quality.
