Known for his intelligent and well-turned comedies, director Pierre Salvadori returned to the roots of his youth in Corsica, to make an inventive tale about five friends who transform themselves into eco-warriors. The story begins in a small town where 12-year-olds Cat, Fouad, Antoine, Sami, and Aimé have hatched a plan to set fire to the Chambon Factory which is polluting the most beautiful river in the area. A classic children’s adventure story – featuring cabins, binoculars, kayaks, bikes, friendships, tricky or secret romances, and so on – bursting with ideas.
