SYNOPSIS
Childhood can be a chaotic time, especially if you’re bouncing back and forth between two continents.
An animated documentary which the director looks back on her early days with engaging candor and gentle humor. Moving back and forth between France and Canada, she often had to adapt to different culture and different partners of her parents, which eventually made her life chaotic and unstable. She, however, overcomes her wounds and creates her own world full of magic, carried along by pastel tones, mild snippets of fabric, and playful characters and score. (CHO Hye-young)
