The story of my real life in Rouen
MA VRAIE VIE A ROUEN
a film by :Olivier Ducastel & Jacques Martineau
To film his training sessions in figure skating, Etienne's grandmother gives him a video camera. Teen-aged Etienne starts recording his everyday life with his friends and mother in Rouen, without being voyeuristic, more as a game and a way of collecting souvenirs. His interest in one teachers, so he believes, is because he thinks he would be a perfect partner for his mother. The relationship that develops between them proves he was right, but also makes him realize that his own desire was more ambiguous than he thoughts.
Etienne a reçu un caméscope de la part de sa grand-mère pour son seizième anniversaire. Grâce à ce cadeau, il filme ses entraînements de patinage artistique, ses amis, sa mère Caroline mais également Laurent, son professeur d'histoire. Etienne pense que ce dernier est le compagnon idéal pour Caroline.
