Motivation of the Jury :

Marie Laetitia Guillier for her interpretation of the character Elsa, from the eponymous film by Jean-Marc Guillier, in which she achieves to embody, only by interacting with a child asking naive questions, all the poetic nuances et various emotions that the film expresses, playing with memories and transforming into a fairytale, through the glance of a young girl, a real and tough story of struggles, abandon and harmful losses.

Being a child no more, neither yet a woman, the actress is notably talented for confronting and overcoming a difficult challenge: conveying simultaneously both aspects of, on one side, the game, the memories and the fairytale, and on the other side the emotions provoked by the experience of a world of suffering et pain, hidden behind that game ; putting on the shoes of a child, when she remembers the few moments of joy and airiness shared with her family, and the shoes of a woman when she cries out of despair because the past will never come back, to finally become a child again when at the end of the film, a kite flies high in the sky.
