Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Carrié shot this during an actual French heatwave, using the real desperation of her young cast—the sweat is documentary.
The rain dance as narrative structure draws from West African and Indigenous traditions, reframed through a white French child's feral imagination—intentional collision or accidental colonial echo? The film refuses to say.
