Childhood drawings surface in a filmmaker's archives — rough sketches that would later become cinematic worlds. Documentarian Marie Bouchard investigates the early years of Éric Rohmer, when he was still Maurice Schérer, a schoolteacher dreaming of cinema. The 2025 film reveals how a childlike perception of the world, love for nature, and naive wonder became the foundation of his unique style. Through personal diaries, interviews with collaborators, and rare archival footage, the viewer witnesses the formation of an artist whose films about adult relationships always preserved the purity of a child's gaze. This documentary becomes a journey to the creative origins of a director whose characters eternally seek harmony between reason and emotion.
