Petite Maman (U) subtitled.

On 14th December the Forum was busy for drinks and snacks before the viewing. The latest film from Céline Sciamma ('Portrait of a Lady on Fire', 'Girlhood'), 'Petite Maman' is a 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 recent loss. A favourite of the 2021 Berlin Film Festival, Sciamma’s new masterwork examines childhood, memory and loss with a typically delicate touch, elegantly weaved together into an enchanting and moving depiction of love and acceptance.
