CGiii Comment

What a cold and barren film this is.

Jérémy van der Haegen needs to mull over his composition...because, there are some scenes that looks stilted and staged.

The kids out-acts everyone...

The nudity is inappropriate and, if these were actual parents, a worry. The father wandering around with everything exposed, parents having sex with their door open...there's liberal and then there are kids wandering around!

As for the implied ending...a bit obvious, considering a prior scene!

The(ir) Blurb...

Stories Keep Me Awake At Night is the portrait of day-to-day childhood. A village, a family, a little boy who likes to wear dresses, the return of the wolf and everyday life, ordinary, banal. These elements are used to tell of hidden desires.
