Soleil (Sun)
On a hot summer day - Lola (Jeanne Siclier) - a mother of three children is desperate to get a job - is readying herself for going to an interview. The care-taker of the children calls her and informs her about inability to come that morning. With no time on hand Lola takes the children along with her, and parks her car - leaving the children inside and goes to attend the interview. There she confronts a worried Manager (Daniel Lobé) who is irritated by Lola's children hawking from the car. Daniel wants a person with responsibility and Lola gets worried that her children will die in the parked car. She leaves the interview and rushes out to save her children. Surprised Danilel watches the whole scene from his office window and comes down to offer Lola a job. At one point - as viewers - we experience the raw uneasiness of Lola's children dying in the parked car in the hot son. But in the end - we feel good and relieved that not only the children are safe, but Lola gets the needed job.
Actress Sonia Joubert in her debut short - has directed a good movie. She stays focussed and honest to her written short story of 11 minutes. Jeanne Siclier as Lola and Daniel Njo as the Manager have acted well.
I would go with 6.5 out of 10 for this sweet well directed short movie.
