    • Synopsis
    • Who are today’s children? What do they think and what
      do they manage to grasp of the adult world? To answer
      these questions, the director Sophie Chiarello decides to
      follow the pupils of a primary class in a school immersed
      in a multi-ethnic neighbourhood. For five years with her
      camera, she lowers her gaze to child height to capture
      their point of view of the world. The Circle is not a documentary
      about children, but with children. Disarming and
      genuine as only they know how to be.
