Aglaée (2010)

Rudi Rosenberg, director of this film, made ​​his acting debut while still a child in small roles in both film-and television-before turning to management, as two short films. In both films explore the world of adolescence. The first, "13 ans", filmed in 2008 with child actors and comedic, like a draft "Aglaee" held two years later. In the latter, the complexity of older characters in his mid-teens, offers greater narrative content.

"Aglaee" part of a fact only apparently trivial. This is a group of guys who improvises a bet in the courtyard of the institute, with the sole intention of having fun but, this time, take as its subject a classmate with a physical disability.

Supported by the effective and credible long interpretative work of its young actors, the film made ​​a laborious study of their different personalities, that age when the permeability becomes clearer sentimental and emotional vulnerability is much greater than any other. but this does not mean that the film falls into any kind of easy sentimentality or moralizing, a more adult. On the contrary, "Aglaee" takes a surprising plot twist at the end of its 20 minutes, showing that the adolescent's psychological complexity is no sign of weakness or confusion of life, and that under the skin of his actors is teeming, brimming with sensations, a humanity in full transformation.
