Comedy of Innocence

Today, Camille turns nine. He had sworn that on his 9th birthday he would show his parents the videos he was shooting on the side – the tail of a cat scampering away, a window, and a veiled woman’s face – an intriguing picture… Later that day, Camille’s mother, Ariane, meets up with her son in the park. The boy appears perturbed. He is leaning against a tree, eyes cast down. He says that now he wants to return to his “real home” and his “real mother.”
