Expert review
This animated short is clearly aimed at children, with a gentle and imaginative tone focused on the bond between a young boy and his late grandmother. The main sensitive element is the recent death of the grandmother, introduced at the very beginning, along with the child's sadness about not having had enough time to say goodbye. There does not appear to be any real violence or sustained threat, but the grandmother appearing in his bedroom and the journey through memories may unsettle very young viewers who are especially sensitive to grief. The overall intensity is low, and the treatment seems comforting, poetic, and affectionate rather than dark. For parents, this is mainly a film to watch alongside a child if they have recently experienced a loss, because it may prompt very direct questions about death, absence, and remembering loved ones.
Synopsis
Basile is six years old and his granny has just died. He feels he didn’t have enough time to say goodbye to her and is already missing her delicious cookies. One evening, finding her hiding under his bed, he is overjoyed to be able to make some cookies with her. But she has forgotten the recipe! They set off on a journey into the past in search of her recipe, leaving Basile with a memorable image of his grandmother.
Difficult scenes
The story begins with the fact that Basile has recently lost his grandmother. That idea alone may be moving for a young child, especially if death is still a confusing concept for them or if they have recently experienced a family loss or separation. One evening, Basile finds his grandmother hiding under his bed and follows her on a memory based search for a forgotten recipe. Even if the scene is presented in a warm and magical way, the appearance of a dead relative in a child's bedroom could unsettle some very young viewers, especially around bedtime.
