Our take
Inventive and playful, Alain Ughetto’s open-hearted marvel weaves his family’s history into a universal tale of love and endurance. Using painstaking stop-motion animation to celebrate artisanal labor of all kinds, this award-winning film attains a magical synergy between subject and form.
