L’île au trésor
Treasure Island
Sommerferien. Kreischend hüpfen Kinder ins kühle Wasser. Ein Teenager flirtet das Mädchen an der Ticketkasse an – vielleicht bekommt er heute ihre Nummer? Ein paar Halbstarke springen von einer Brücke in den Fluss, als der Aufseher gerade nicht hinschaut. Wie eine kleine Oase erstreckt sich dieses Naherholungsgebiet in einer Banlieue unweit von Paris, wo weniger bemittelte Franzosen den Sommer verbringen, eint ein Ort voller Geschichten. So führt uns der Film durch einen Sommer, in dem das Kindsein mit all seinen rebellischen und kreativen Einfällen und das Erwachsenwerden mit all seinen Veränderungen und Regeln sichtbar werden. (Zurich Film Festival)
The summer season at a recreation center not far from Paris is in full swing, and the extensive park and swimming area have come alive with the tumult of visitors. Unbeknownst to the security guards, rowdy boys slip in without paying, vying for the favor of pretty girls with daring jumps off a high bridge into the water. Initially we find amusing character traits among the vacationers and center employees, but more troubled human lives permeate the situations here presented. A glimpse into the mindsets of French and immigrants who lack the means for a more exotic vacation. (Martin Horyna, Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
