Six Days in Spring

Sana is determined that her young twins will have a spring break, despite the problems piling up around them. When every plan collapses, the three of them slip into the empty Riviera villa that used to belong to Sana's former in-laws, without telling anyone. The secret holiday stretches across six sunlit days, a suspended pocket of freedom where small delights mix with unease. The secrecy tests their improvisation and reveals fragile loyalties and limits quickly. As the children play and adult memories hover just out of view, those bright days quietly alter how everyone understands responsibility and childhood.

Directed by Joachim Lafosse and written by Paul Ismael and Chloé Duponchelle, Six Days in Spring was released in 2025. The film stars Eye Haïdara, Jules Waringo, Leonis Pinero Müller, Teoudor Pinero Müller and Emmanuelle Devos, among others.

The film's sun-drenched Riviera setting and the image of children occupying an adults' space create scenes that stick with you. Viewers notice the quiet tone and the unsettling contrast between play and adult history, prompting discussion about how small acts can reveal bigger social tensions and debate online.

Six Days in Spring mixes dry comedy with an undercurrent of unease, resisting easy answers. It focuses on parenthood, the limits of responsibility, class and the moment when children glimpse adult contradictions. Anchored by Eye Haïdara and a young ensemble, the movie lives in the small gestures and awkward silences that reveal character.

As of its release there are no widely reported major awards or nominations for Six Days in Spring. Its festival run and critical recognition may develop as it reaches wider audiences, but for now the film's reception seems to rest more on conversation and performance than prize wins.
