April in France
Synopsis
April, a 5-year-old English girl, moves to Paris just before the first lockdown. She feels miserable, isolated in her Parisian flat and desperately wants to go back to London.
However, when the restric5ons ease, her father drives her to Labas5de d’Armagnac, a small medieval village in the South-West of France where her great- grandfather bequeathed them his house.
April is not much happier at first in the deserted village but slowly discovers it. She visits the cemetery where she thinks people are just asleep. On her great- grandfather’s grave she brings flowers, talks to him and strongly believes that he might eventually come back to be with her. She will make several wishes for
this purpose, in church and also in the Pyrenees mountains, wai5ng for a falling star, as she has seen in Pinocchio.
In the mean5me, she meets some of her great- grandfather’s friends. With them she will open to the world, discover her inner self and in turn she will transform the adults around her forever.
