Story of an ovation : « The little room » causes an exceptional craze in Locarno. The Fevi’s Palace and it’s 3200 seats has discovered  the film competing for the Golden Leopard : the theatre exploded in an almost 10 minutes’ standing ovation. « The little room » is born on Monday August 9, 2010, with a standing audience.           JOURNAL LE TEMPS, Thierry Jobin, August 11, 2010

Absorbing drama of a bereaeved mother and an old man she nurses through a turbulent time. As the odd couple of nurse and patient discover more about each other, they develop a peculiar but pleasing kinship. The circle of life is given warm and redemptive treatment in « La petite chambre », written an directed by Stéphanie Chuat and Véronique Reymond. They supply information about the characters subtly so they become fully formed gradually. Interest should be strong in international markets and festivals.
