Presented by the Alliance Francaise Christchurch in association with the Lumiere...
In the 1990s, a little boy lives in Burundi with his father, a French entrepreneur, his Rwandan mother and his little sister. He spends his time playing the four hundred blows with his classmates until the civil war breaks out putting an end to the innocence of his childhood....

At the height of a child, the film impresses with its quality of keeping the violence outside the frame while introducing a tension into its story..." Abus De Cine
