73 mins | France 2021 | Subtitles Director: Céline Sciamma Starring: Joséphine Sanz, Gabrielle Sanz and Nina Meurisse This is a sublime modern fairytale about the quiet wonder of mother-daughter relationships. After the death of her beloved grandmother, eight-year-old Nelly meets a mysterious friend in the woods. Together they embark on a fantastical journey of discovery which helps Nelly come to terms with this newfound loss. A favourite of the 2021 Berlin Film Festival, Céline Sciamma’s latest masterwork examines childhood, memory and loss with a typically delicate touch, elegantly weaved together into an enchanting and moving depiction of love and acceptance. “(An) utterly spellbinding little gem…(a) heartbreakingly hopeful fairytale for all ages.” The Observer
