As an au pair in an Irish family, Kathryn Cops made a documentary portrait from the eye level of one of the children. Behind the hyperkinetic gutsy behaviour of this kid, a short but already tragic life is revealed in a politically and socially disastrous landscape. A cutting edge observation, between vitality and depression.
