Les figures(2009)

Les figures is a French film centered on a mother's desperate search through a park for her missing six-year-old son. Consumed by heartbreak and urgency, she moves frantically through the landscape, calling out and pleading for any sign of the child. The film captures the raw emotional devastation of a parent facing every parent's worst nightmare—a missing child. Shot with an intimate, observational style, Les figures explores themes of loss, maternal love, and the fragility of family bonds. The sparse narrative focuses entirely on the mother's anguish and determination, creating a tense, emotionally charged portrait of grief in motion. Her search becomes a meditation on parental fear and the lengths a mother will go to find her child.
