Tom et Lola


Tom et Lola English Tom and Lola is a French film about two tenyearolds who have always lived isolated in sterile, hermetically sealed plastic bubbles due to an unspecified immunedeficiency disease. However, neither their environment or the hospital technicians can keep down the indomitable spirit of these children. Nor can anything stop their quest to one day run truly free, unbound by the medical shackles that bind them.

Eventually, the two children discover that by using the gauntlets that form part of their plastic pods, they are able to reach out and grasp each others hands. One night, Tom discovers that if he pulls Lolas arms hard enough and she pulls his, they can draw their bubbles close enough for him to reach the external emergency deflate controls on her bubble. After he has activated these, Lola escapes her bubble and releases Tom from his.Over the next few nights, the children regularly escape their plastic prisons and eventually meet Robert, a boy in another ward of the hospital. He is initially frightened by the two strange children. He thinks Tom and Lola are Martians, possibly due to their nakedness and baldness which is required for hygienic living within the bubbles. However, they quickly make friends, and he shows them other areas of the hospital, including the hydrotherapy pool, where he has a seizure after his medication drip line pulls out. The pair save him, and get him back to his room. ........
