c’est vrmt très triste. Un film qui a l’apparence d’être pour des enfants de max 10 ans  alors qu’il concerne plus les adolescents. Les thèmes telles que le deuil, la perte ou même la solitude sont vraiment bien abordé. C’est sur que quand on est enfant on ne comprend pas toujours tout ce qui se passe autour de nous et on ne maîtrise pas nos actes etc.. et c’est pour ça que se film est vrmt exceptionnel.

Synopsis

After his mother’s death, Zucchini is befriended by a kind police officer, Raymond, who accompanies him to his new foster home filled with other orphans his age. There, with the help of his newfound friends, Zucchini eventually learns to trust and love as he searches for a new family of his own.

Le problème avec le vent, c'est qu'il ne s'arrête jamais. L'avantage avec le vent, c'est qu'il tourne toujours.
