This adaptation named after Dominique Vecchio’s short story tells of part of the adolescence of an abused young girl who came down from her native mountains into the town.
L’Oie naine (the Dwarf Goose) alternates between documentary and fiction thus never leaving room for a fixed cinematographic style in order to best serve, through sound and image, the author’s particular narrative style.
