Synopsis: London, 1984. Maria, aged 7, lives with her mother in a strange, enclosed universe, filled with love and accumulated objects. A tragic night brings this parenthesis to an end. Ten years later, Maria is living with a foster family. The arrival of Michael, a mysterious young man, upsets her fragile balance and brings back confused memories, between magic and reality.
Crasse is aimed at audiences looking for emotionally powerful narratives, blending social realism with a dreamlike approach. This film might suit fans of works such as Joanna Hogg's The Souvenir or Charlotte Wells' Aftersun, which explore the traces left by childhood and complex family relationships. The choice of animated memories, objects and visual symbols in a British setting of the 1980s and 1990s reinforces an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and disquieting.
Crasse is the first feature film by Luna Carmoon, a British director whose artistic sensibility has already been expressed in several short films. The film has been shown at international festivals, where it has attracted attention for its personal narrative and singular aesthetic. The lead role is played by Saura Lightfoot Leon, surrounded by Hayley Squires(I, Daniel Blake) and Joseph Quinn, known for Stranger Things. The script oscillates between social reality and a quasi-fantasy dimension, dealing with the way children perceive and transform their painful memories.
Crasse, Hoard's French title, is an introspective and visually daring drama by Luna Carmoon. It follows the emotional journey of Maria, whose traumatic childhood brings her face to face with a repressed past. Between memories, secrets and broken maternal bonds, this intimate film promises to be a landmark of British independent cinema. Available in cinemas from June 11, 2025.
