À hauteur d’enfant

A couple of filmmakers who have become parents wonder how to describe life to their children. What wonders are left to discover? With their camera, they decide to dive into their world, where every little gesture is extraordinary, where everything remains to be told. Little Béatrice—who doesn’t want to grow up—opens the door to her imagination wide, while her older brother Émile, who is learning to read and write, wonders if atoms are alive.

Filmed over nearly four years, both at school and at home, and blending a child’s-eye view of cinéma vérité, observational camerawork, and a poetic narrative style, this true cinematic journey invites us to reflect. What do we lose as we grow older? What stories do we most want to pass on?
