Antoine

Antoine

A sensitive portrait of the real and imaginary life of Antoine, a boy detective who runs, drives, makes decisions, hosts radio shows and adores simultaneous telephone conversations.

Born one hundred days prematurely, Antoine is now five years old and he is blind. He has, nevertheless, successfully integrated into his school.

Over the course of two years he uses a mini-boom microphone to discover and capture the sounds surrounding him. In this manner he co-created the soundtrack of this film.
