action
Two boys from the provinces (Tyler and Benjamin) always face each other with new challenges to measure their strength and courage. For example, Tyler locks Benjamin in the toilet of a disused train wagon until it gives up and asks to let him out again. The game eventually brings the two of them to a nearby gravel mine. In a muddy place, Tyler sinks to his knees and can no longer free himself on his own. When Benjamin pulled it out, Tyler in return pushes it into the mud, where Benjamin now also sinks in. However, Tyler does not get to Benjamin's hands to help him. When Benjamin is sunk to his chest, Tyler runs to get help, but finds no one. So he returns to the muddy place where Benjamin can no longer be seen.
Tyler now wanders aimlessly over the gravel surface and finally to a street where a car stops and the driver offers to drive him home. He gets on. After a short while, the woman brakes abruptly and gets out, apparently because something has crossed the street. Tyler sees a fox running away from the side window.
background
The film was shot in 2017 near the town of Thetford Mines in the Canadian province of Québec . Director Jérémy Comte casted the child actors in the countryside because he found city children too clean for the film.
reception
Use in school lessons
The online portal kinofenster.de discusses the film in the dossier "Short films for young people", recommends it from year 9 for the subjects French, German , art, philosophy and ethics and offers material for the film for the classroom. There Marguerite Seidel writes that the striking staging style gives the film parabolic features and that it is about the relationship between people and their surroundings, to other people, but also to nature. For the lesson, one of the questions asked is whether Fauve would also work in the form of a long feature film.
