“A modern tale, imbued with fantasy, that filmmaker Dominique Othenin-Girard succeeded in shooting for the most part during the Winegrower’s Festival.” —L’illustré

“The film […] tells the story of this 13-year-old’s quest, set against the very real backdrop of the 2019 Fête des Vignerons. The viewer is immersed behind the scenes and on the set of the great popular festival, with its costumes and atmosphere.” —Le Messager

Synopsis

EN

13-year-old Colombine runs away from home and from a conflictual relationship with her mother to look for a father she has never met. Her quest takes her to travel through time, and she finds herself thrown into the middle of a gigantic live show, the Fête des Vignerons… Dazzled by surreal surroundings and stuck in a strange adult world, she can only rely on her wits and her heart to find her way.
*Please note: The film sometimes contains explicit language, references to alcohol consumption, and allusions to adult themes. Part of the story takes place in locations linked to wine culture.
