Il faut se méfier des enfants sages. Ils portent parfois en eux des océans de désespoir. Une fillette, qui semble avoir vécu l'enfance ordinaire des années 1960, cache secrets et blessures.

In La Petite, the renowned French writer and film producer Michle Halberstadt vividly recounts the painful events that surrounded the death of her beloved grandfather, which led to a suicide attempt when she was 12 years old. Michle’s mother favored her older sister, her father was emotionally remote, her teachers dismissive, and her peers a foreign species. Her grandfather alone had given her an image of herself that she could embrace. After he died, there seemed to be nothing left for her.
