Yverdon-les-BainsRomanzi adolescenziali – 2002-2008All the chosen children in these 4 films come from the same city: Yverdon-les-bains. We followed these kids during 7 years to know who they really are, and what do they do? What are their dreams, their revolts? How do they see their future? Which society would they like to build? In which kind of Switzerland would they like to live? Through their daily life we discovered, Yverdon-les-Bains, a Swiss small town surrounding 26.000 inhabitants. It is the second larger commune of the canton of Vaud. Located in the middle of the French-speaking Switzerland, it accomodates in its schools as well the children of the city as those of the countryside. A commercial city since the Roman times, its center is known for its great place, broadside of the temple, the castle and the townhall. This picturesque place where saunter Yverdonnois of all ages, all milieux from various horizons, is the perfect theatre of a meltingpot city with commercial streets charged with history. Yverdon is however, for a long time a thermal center of reputation which accomodates tourists from all over the world. |
