Le corset

Christophe, a ten-year-old farmer’s son, is sensitive and clumsy and has a tough time finding his place within his family. To make things worse, he has serious balance problems: he likes to tilt his head, to the point where he constantly falls over. Far from eliciting sympathy from his father Jean, a gruff and strong man who usually ignores him, his accidents trigger his father's anger. Christophe is fitted with an orthopaedic corset to restrain him. It's a torture device for such an energetic child – all to make sure he doesn’t lean. Christophe then discovers he has a superpower of imagination: he can tilt the horizon instead, and send everything flying.
