Festival of Films in French 

In Northern Italy, in the early 1900s, the Ughettos dream of leaving the region, where life has become unbearably difficult. As a fictional dialogue between grandmother Cesira and her grandson-director, the poignant animation film follows the family’s exile over three generations after they cross the Alps and settle in France.

(Alain Ughetto, France and Italy, French and Italian w/English sub, 70min, 2022, Digital)
