Commentaire
Age of fire has the spontaneity and freshness of the beautiful age with its innocence, its wounds and its laws. Or how, suddenly, as one enters adult life, conditioning and education become barriers. Léo Haddad explores this frontier, questioning it until it subtly cracks. In the places of childhood, the director, close to his actors, stretches a fragile thread between two worlds that had given the illusion of being similar and that during the vacations discover themselves to be completely different.
