The story behind
It was during the filming of "JUMBO" that Noémie told Anaïs about her film project centered around a Roma community, with whom she had forged strong bonds. We were impressed by this project of rare ambition, where members of the community themselves play the fictional characters written by Noémie. After intense development work, we filmed on their actual living site, a "platz" that would be destroyed a few months later. Still in contact with them, we kept them informed of the film's remarkable journey and donated the prize money received at festivals.
