Biography
Marguerite de Hillerin’s first experience in the movie business was during the shooting of Le Sommeil de la terre (Slumber of the Earth) by Félix Dutilloy-Liégeois, in which she acted. From then on, both of them never stopped comparing their ideas, imagining new stories and new ways of telling them. They both directed Au Mont (At the Mount) and Les Ruines en été (Ruins in Summer), whose themes such as disappearance, loss and replacement match those of L’Enfant (The Child).
