“Stop going too far! There’s power here. Anne be reasonable.”
Maxime (Julien Frison)
A brilliant young student of literature, Anne (Anamaria Vartolomei) becomes pregnant. Seeing what this can lead to, she wishes to have an abortion. Problem in 1963, having an abortion is illegal.
She decides to join her lover Maxime (Julien Frison), with whom she had the relationship, at his home in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer to seek help. The young man’s preoccupations are not the same since he has asked Anne to accompany him to the Platin beach on the edge of the Pont du Diable with his friends. Seeing that she is left alone with her conscience, Anne leaves prematurely all alone to Angouleme.
The film L’événement won the Golden Lion, the highest award, at the 2021 Venice Film Festival. The film was also in the running to represent France at the Oscars, but it was finally Julia Ducournau’s Titane that the Academy selected.
The film’s budget is 5.2 million euros.
Le Pont Du Diable
The Platin beach is a beach of Saint-Palais-sur-Mer offering beautiful scenery, with a nice view on the Pont du Diable which is nearby.
Spread over 800 meters, the Platin beach is a popular beach for vacationers. Accessible by the “sentier des Douaniers” from the beach of Saint-Palais, the Platin beach can be dangerous for the most fragile. Many rocks at low tide can be very sharp.
Its rock formations offer magnificent landscapes at the beach.
Nearby is the Pont-du-Diable, a natural rock formation popular with tourists and fishermen.

Le Petit Nicolas - la bande dessinée originale (FR version)
Did you know that Petit Nicolas was born as a color comic strip? IMAV éditions publishes for the first time in a comic book the complete plates written by René Goscinny and drawn by Sempé. These plates appeared between 1955 and 1956 in a Belgian magazine, Le Moustique, to which Sempé and Goscinny collaborated. Then they left Le Moustique and, three years later, in 1959, they resumed Le Petit Nicolas, this time in the form of illustrated stories. The stories appeared in Sud-Ouest Dimanche, then were published in books and were a huge success. The unpublished drawings that are published today in this album contain all the ingredients that will make the success of Little Nicholas. They are presented in the form of one-page gags. In his scenarios, Goscinny has already set up the springs of the saga and portrays the main characters. Sempé already represents an immediately identifiable Nicolas. This comic strip already has the flavor of what will make the success of the character, humor and poetry. The publication of the album Le Petit Nicolas, la bande dessinée originale (The Little Nicholas, the original comic strip) completes this series imagined by René Goscinny and Jean-Jacques Sempé. This rediscovered treasure allows us to discover the genesis of one of the most famous works of children’s literature.
