Les 3 Boutons
Whomsoever loses 3 buttons will have 3 wishes
Directed by Agnès Varda
Produced by Hi! Production, Ciné-Tamaris
A whimsical, visually imaginative coming-of-age fantasy that blends magical realism with everyday adolescent self-discovery through surreal, dreamlike imagery.
“Miss Jasmine! I have a package for you!” The 14-year-old girl with braces takes a break from milking the goat. Her local postman has delivered a surprise. She opens it up. Out floats a magical magenta ball dress ten times her teenage size. “I am curious,” she says, and enters the folds of the dress. From here, Jasmine⎯headstrong, a dreamer, a realist⎯takes us on a modern anti-fairy tale through caves and stalagmites, streets and shop windows, obsessions and everyday empowerment.
