Tales of the moon [2011]
Original
Résumé A diary found in an old, abandoned suitcase carries us away to a Spanish village on a fine summer morning in the year 1940. It is on this morning that a ten-year-old boy named Joan Casesnoves-Durante wakes up with a strange and wonderful new word on his lips. The word cannot be found anywhere in the dictionary and he wants desperately to give a meaning to his amazing invention. A few days later, Joan's father returns home after a very long absence, caused by the Civil War. With the gentle support of Joan's mother, a sensitive, luminous relationship develops between the the son who "invents words" and the father who "invents better worlds", and together they give the boy's new word a radiant and eternal meaning. Extrait JOAN: Uh, what about you Papa: what did you write, in prison? Your diary? /OCTAVI: No. “ No writing allowed in prison. No paper, no pencils.” /JOAN: Not allowed? / OCTAVI: That’s right. But they couldn’t stop me from thinking! And since all you have in prison is time, I was thinking a lot. |
