For La Ferme à Gégé, his first film as a director, documentary filmmaker Florent Verdet is interested in an unusual figure in Normandy, the farmer Gégé, known in his village for the activities he proposes on his farm with suburban children. The film is expected in theaters on February 8.
Gégé is a very special farmer. To escape bankruptcy, he opened his farm to children from the suburbs and turned himself into a virtuoso educator for decades.
