Le nez dans le ruisseau
DramaFamily90 min
A television reporter in Switzerland, assigned to cover Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s 300th birthday, finds an unexpected angle in a local boy whose grasp of the philosopher seems far beyond his years. To explain how he knows so much about a man who died long before he was born, she pulls in a professor and Rousseau specialist, turning a simple feature into something stranger and more intimate. As the adults search for answers, the story keeps returning to the boy’s bond with the natural world, his friendships, and the wealth gaps shaping the community. Sami Frey and Anne Richard are among the adults drawn into the mystery.
