Beware of well-behaved children
Cécile Coulon (ENG)
She lived in a small town of the South, the kind of place where girls become mothers before they get their driver’s license.
United States, late 80’s.
A young woman leaves her native town to run away from boredom and to find her place elsewhere, somewhere where dreams were possible. When she gets to San Francisco she becomes a waitress, makes friends with the young skaters of the neighborhood, relentlessly reads and rereads Lord of the Flies. A simple, honest and most of all a free life. But the dream ends when she receives a phone call : her mother just died. Forced to go back to her town, she meets her future husband, with whom she will have a daughter, Lua.
