Ça commence aujourd’hui (Betrand Tavernier)

In the economically ailing north of France, the director of a preschool is passionate about helping the children of unemployed parents. Although he tirelessly messes with authorities, politicians and social workers, he cannot prevent tragic incidents. A touching, cinematic complex reflection on unemployment and the future of a society that is no longer even able to convey the basic forms of interpersonal communication to its children. (filmdienst)
