Maël et la révolution
Nothing predisposed 17-year-old Maël, a working-class kid raised on the 24 Hours of Le Mans, to become involved in climate activism. At the AgroCampus de la Germinière in the Sarthe region, where he is preparing a professional horticultural baccalaureate, he faces peers who don’t share his convictions—and are sometimes fiercely opposed to them. As a budding revolutionary, whether at protests or in his vegetable garden, Maël develops a critical and curious political consciousness at the crossroads of different worlds.

A coming-of-age tale and a portrait of political awakening, Maël and the Revolution treats adolescence as something serious—a space for civic subjectivation, moral awareness, and activist reflection. Maël’s quest is portrayed with the gravity it deserves, complete with its fears, its ambitions, and that disarming hope that perhaps only adolescence can hold. Sincere and delicate, Céline Thiou’s camera reminds us of the beauty of political consciousness—of the aspirations it inspires, the conviction it carries, and the dreams it makes possible.
