CENTRE NATIONAL DU CINEMA (FR)
LA GRANDE FAMILLE

"La Grande Famille" is a documentary that unveils the everyday life of one of the biggest nomad and marginal subcultures in Europe.  - Pia is the daughter of a French ex-model and Zinzin is the son of a former heroin addict. Both of them are seasonal agricultural workers - "saisonniers". Two different stories with the same fate: nomads living in forests, sheltered by a family chosen by themselves and living a life away from the society they have rejected. Secret hard-tech parties, drugs, hippie revivalism and other rituals are uncovered by these two young adults. A journey from gloomy pasts into the present day, lived-in family community.
