While spending the holidays at her mother’s village, nine-year-old Lucie fearlessly leads an expedition to uncover a secret buried deep within her family history. With the help of her new friend Yann and a charming flight of blue tits, she embarks on a quest as delightful as it is mysterious. Evoking the poetic minimalism of pioneering animator Lotte Reiniger, masterful cutout animation breathes life, frame by frame, into this enchanting film. Antoine Lanciaux, co-writer of Mia and the Migoo (Best Animated Film at EFA), crafts a host of warm, endearing characters in this fabulous tale of archaeological adventure. With a visual and narrative sensitivity reminiscent of masters of the art such as Ocelot or Laguionie, and accompanied by an evocative score by Georges Brassens (La Mauvaise Reputation), this thoughtful animation invites us to see those who dare to break the mould in an entirely new light.
