When the Swallows Fly Away

Directed by Sébastien Pins

With Fernand Gathot, Andrée Gathot, Benjamin Gruslin and Nicolas Herman

In a small rural village, a young boy befriends Fernand and Andrée, a farmer couple who, at 80 years old, find themselves at trouble feeding their remaining livestock. The boy doubles his efforts to help them but can't avoid the inevitable: they are forced to take the terrible decision to first give up their donkey, than their cherished cows, sold to the livestock-market.
