The Kite

Laetitia Colombani


Devastated by a personal tragedy, Lena leaves the school where she works and France and flees to India, to a village in the Bay of Bengal, where, while swimming one morning, she is swept away by currents and risks drowning. A little girl playing on the beach with her kite rushes to her aid. How will Lena be able to express her gratitude to the little girl? Ten-year-old Lalita works in a restaurant, she can neither read nor write. With the help of a group of girls who stand up for women's rights, Lena sets out on an ambitious project: to build a school for all the children in the area - something they have been deprived of until now. Thus, in the heart of a country like India, where nothing is simple, a great adventure begins in which hope, frustration and determination in the face of deeply rooted traditions coexist, driven by a dream, which is none other than to truly change the destiny and the lives of these children.
