The event is over
Solange is 12. She is a young modern teenager, full of life, curious about the future and extremely sentimental. She loves her parents. One day, her parents argue, get angry, start to drift apart - discord develops. As the shadow of divorce looms, Solange sees her world crumbling. She worries, reacts, suffers, still wants to believe. This is the story of an innocent young teenager who wants the impossible: for love to never end.

“We could define the soft format of Petite Solange as a desire to film a melodrama from a distance as well as at face value, that is to say, without forcing emotions or looking down. The acting and dialogue reflect this mixture of restraint and sincerity, as does the music, used to great extent and which acts less as an enhancer and more as a mattress that embraces sadness without letting it overflow.”
Presented by the editorial team of Cahiers du cinéma and followed by a meeting with Axelle Ropert
Preview screening ahead of its release in cinemas on 6 October 2021 by Haut et Court.
