Luna Carpiaux

A young woman confronts her deeply religious mother. A biker explores the night with a group of rebel dykes in Rio de Janeiro. A headstrong rapper in French Guiana comes to terms with her roots. And five young women make the most of their final days of youth at a secluded spa in the French mountains. Power for these women lies in their bodies, their loves and their desire for a fulfilling future.

Eight-year-old Thomas lives on a military base on the former French colony of Madagascar. Observing his parents and their circle, he gradually becomes aware of politics both territorial and sexual, while finding an outlet for his imagination in the fantasy exploits of junior crimebuster Fantômette. Campillo’s autobiographically inspired drama mixes styles and registers to illuminating effect.
