Slocum et moi
Jean François Laguionie
France-Luxembourg, 2024

In the early 1950s, in post-war France, living on the banks of the Marne, 11-year-old François is thrilled to discover that his father has built a replica of the famous sailboat built by sailor Joshua Slocum in their garden. A deeply poetic film about growing up, painting, and the sea. Suitable for all audiences.
