Garance is 11 years old and lives in a remote village in the Cévennes where her parents are attempting to lead an alternative existence. She roams her vast territory in the company of a gang of dishevelled children and, armed with her vivid imagination, arranges all kinds of political games for them, nationalising toys and setting up a pirate radio station, etc. It’s at this point in time that two Italian activists rob a bank in the area. It goes wrong but one of them manages to escape, with the full contingent of the police force on his heels. This stirs up political squabbles between Garance’s parents, Simon and Marie. Indeed, the latter seems to despair that their hopes for radical change in the world are slowly ebbing away. Garance learns that the Italian fugitive is hiding in a barn not far from their home. Surely coming to his aid would help to continue the revolutionary fight, and would allow her to become an apprentice activist herself?

Produced by Colette Quesson on behalf of À Perte de Vue Film and co-produced by Antoine Simkine for Les Films d'Antoine, Time to Get Away! benefits from a CNC advance on receipts and from production support courtesy of the Brittany and Occitanie regions. The feature film will be distributed in French cinemas by Nour Films.

For the record, Les Films d’Antoine are currently overseeing funding for Submergée which will be Alanté Kavaïté’s 3rd feature film (The Summer of Sangaile [+leggi anche:
