Synopsis
In a small town from Lot et Garonne, a theatre festival is being prepared. Each year, for one month, a group of artist invest the bastide and the covered market, to create shows linked to the local context. Each year, the village kids are hanging out under this same covered market, smoking cigarettes. Actors who have come from elsewhere and young marginalised kids are staring at each other. That summer, I proposed to the young’s to do a movie. A fragile approach that will occur on the theme of Teorema from Pasolini, in witch the arrival of a foreigner will disturb the balance of a family. In Tenderness, we don’t know anymore who’s the stranger. Everybody is looking for his own place and the way to make it.
