The session begins with the film The Carnival of the Animals: in a Romani family, the mother prepares her daughters for the school parade, while Amanda, the youngest, fears that everything will go wrong. With the look of hand-painted art, Me, You and the Smoke is a sensitive and imaginative animation in which a fire sparks a boy’s passion for a girl. Hierarchy takes place in the primary school playground – the carousel of life at that age – where the tumultuous episodes of first friendships can last a lifetime. In the animation I’ve Had Enough, a deceased grandfather tries to leave the house, but the family doesn’t believe him and insists on bringing him back every time he escapes. The final film is the fiction This Is My Sister, which tells the story of Camille, a teenager with Down syndrome who dreams of joining a dance company. On the day of the audition, she discovers with her sister Agathe that nothing has changed.
