Project
At Faberllull he will write the script for a feature film titled Arcadia.
In a village in the Pyrenees, the community garden has been vandalised. A resident claims to have seen a child, but isn't sure which of the only two who live there it was. The residents are forced to decide how best to handle a possible punishment, which sets off a spiral of intolerance against children.
