Pregnant at 16, Camille is placed in a maternity center by the juvenile judge. Deprived of a loving but toxic mother, she befriends Alison, an immature young mother, and struggles against the authority of Nadine, an educator as passionate as she is disillusioned. These encounters will change her destiny. Premiering at the Locarno Film Festival in 2022, Little ones is a poignant social drama that manages to paint an intimate portrait of a teenage mother while addressing the complex collective issues involved.
