Overview

Nobody remembers their first school playtime. That day when the adults had gone. That day, I was in the playground. For eight years I filmed the same group of childen, asking myself: how do we grow under the gaze of others? As the years pass, the playtime games gave way to role playing; the "You're not my friend any more" gave way to the "you're not playing". One day I arrived late. Behind the cries, I could see them hitting Élise. How didn't I see it coming?

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

An eight-year longitudinal observation of childhood friendships and power dynamics that begins as innocent nostalgia before darkening into an intimate reckoning with how quickly kindness can curdle into cruelty. The filmmaker's growing sense of complicity transforms this from a gentle record into something morally unsettling.
