With notably: Amira Casar (narrator), Jeanne Ruff (Lênu), Marianna Granci  (Lila)

Rafaella Cerullo and Elena Greco grew up in a poor neighborhood of Naples in the 1950s. Although very different, a deep and demanding friendship binds them. Lenu, with a placid and self-effacing character, is fascinated by Lila’s adventurous and intrepid character; by his intellectual vivacity and his physical courage. Although academically gifted, Lila has to drop out of school to work with her father and brother in their shoemaker shop. Lenu is supported by her teacher, who pushes her parents to send her to middle school and then to high school. During this period, the two young girls transform physically and psychologically, helping each other or attacking each other.

To mark the 150th anniversary of the death of George Sand, France Culture is offering several programs dedicated to this great literary figure.

The little fadette by George Sand

Realization : Anne Lemaître

With Bérangère Dautun, Thierry Wermuth, Yves Arcanel and Bernard Gabay

Landry and Sylvinet are twins, called “bessons” in the local Berry language. At 14, they had to separate and Landry, more confident than his brother, went to work on a farm in the region. While Landry adapts well to his new condition, his brother sinks into sadness… One day, when Sylvinet has disappeared, Landry asks for help from Fanchon Fadet, who is nicknamed La Petite Fadette, a poor and fierce young girl whom everyone rejects because she is the granddaughter of a healer, suspected of witchcraft. As the weeks go by, Landry will fall in love with Little Fadette, but will have to overcome the prejudices of the villagers like the jealousy of his brother…

I’m too green

Me continues his apprenticeship in the 6th grade, this pivotal period of life: this time we send him to green class.
He discovers rural life, much less calm than he thought:
He and his comrades are guided in this new life by Valérie, the daughter of the family, who does not spare him in this initiation. But the rural world also makes him discover nature, the real one, its realities and its legends.
