A sensitive portrait in the life of a library of a primary school in Brussels; Histoire de Lire tells us the discovery of the pleasure of reading by children, time after time. Or how, thanks to an imaginative librarian who knows how to transmit their own pleasure, today’s children penetrate the world of books with passion. A story that should be banal and yet, is not ordinary. This film is the result of a very strong desire of the director, Isabelle Rey, to transmit the passion of reading by showing its birth: ‘Because, from childhood, I tasted the happiness to read, and I never looked back, because reading offered me worlds that I had never known elsewhere, in which I think it fundamental in the learning of life. I wanted to convey this passion.’ (Isabelle Rey)
