Synopsis<\/p>\n

With the action undertaken by the Petites Familles Association, \u201cChildhood \u2013 A New Life in Les Petites Familles\u201c is a reminder how essential it is for a child\u2019s development to have a good education, a regular and stable way of life where it feels loved. \u201cPetites Familles\u201d is the name given to these foster homes in the bernese Jura, where a couple of parents take in children deprived of a proper family setting. Lucienne Lanaz\u2019s documentary sets out to discover these homes, meets the parents in charge and is present at the arrival of new young boarders.
\nA big part is also allocated to the descriptions by former foster parents and boarders who have become adults. A true local, social and human adventure covering several generations, enriched by a wealth of archive material the theme of which greatly surpasses the regional character. In contrast to many existing films, reporting on the deplorable conditions of children in care, emphasizing bits of unhappy lives, this film shows that fostering can be a happy experience. The importance of such a subject is universal.<\/p>\n

Lucienne Lanaz’s statement<\/p>\n

My village Grandval in the bernese Jura shelters one of the two foster homes run by the Petites Familles association. As I was put in care myself in my youth, I felt a particular interest in these homes that take in children whose family lives have been disturbed or broken up. So I decided to find out how they function and I met several ex foster-children who struck me each time by their flourishing. The way they developed doesn\u2019t show in any way that they haven\u2019t lived with their own parents.
\nThe Petites Familles\u00a0children\u2019s homes do a fantastic job and I am convinced that in this film I can show that education, a healthy life style\u00a0and affection\u00a0are essential to a child\u2019s development.
\nTo me this goes far beyond a local setting, the importance of such a subject is universal.<\/p>\n
