A Vivid Sense of Place in Dordogne's Hand-Painted Escape

Pixel Therapy Pod

Cannes Award-winning director and animator Cedric Babouche crafts a cinematic feast for the senses in sun-soaked Dordogne, a bite-sized narrative adventure from his studio Un Je Ne Sais Quoi and Umanimation and published by Focus Entertainment. Join us as we explore a summery tale about family wounds and childhood memories that may not deliver on all of the plot points it sets up but provides a rich backdrop to explore an idyllic portrait of the French countryside -- perfect for a quiet afternoon, or while your partner hogs the TV getting bodied by Margit the Fell Omen for the 20th time (Spencer's writing this).
