Pathfinders

It is by trial and error, delicately tying the ropes that allow them to climb one by one to the treetops, and above all by listening to the surges of each other's thoughts, that the girl scouts gradually manage to illuminate the forest with their presence.

With the same rigour that drives their camp management tasks, the protagonists weave a network of mutual aid and trust that allows them to express themselves with rare sincerity. It is also from this ability to expand towards oneself and the other, from this shared clarity, that sparks eventually arise.

This film depicts a setting in which the girls operate, away from the constraints imposed by their social roles. We can easily admire their achievements, the technicality of the tasks performed, the liveliness and strength that animate their movements, as well as the determination that seems to inhabit them. We also get to intercept the knowing glances exchanged, glimmers and manifestations of the intense bond of sisterhood that unites them.
