Pain Bénit

Pain Bénit tells the story of Tomi, a rebellious teenager, who is deeply bored between the family bakery and the school in her small medieval town. She regularly escapes to the surrounding hills with her friends who dream, like her, of an exceptional future. One day, during one of these escapades, Tomi drinks some wine left as an offering to the local oracle and suddenly has a vision of a fireball falling on the town. At first interpreted as a simple hallucination due to alcohol, this apocalyptic scene soon becomes reality, giving the teenager a new status in the eyes of the population: would she be the next oracle?

A splendid medieval fantasy fresco mixing initiation story and struggle for emancipation.
