Séance de dédicace : Simon Rochepeau & Benjamin Bachelier

Prévert composed the poem "Chasse à l'enfant" (Child Hunt) in 1936, before writing a screenplay, inspired by the mutiny on Belle-Île, which he offered to Marcel Carné. The screenplay's content was considered shocking, and the film was halted by censors in 1939. The project resurfaced in 1946, renamed "La fleur de l'âge" (The Flower of Youth), and truly began in 1947. But trouble soon followed. Simon Rochepeau (screenplay) and Benjamin Bachelier (illustrations) recount the little-known story of this film, which cemented the collaboration of one of the most celebrated duos in French cinema.
