My Life as a Zucchini (2016)
Movie
Released
66 minutes. The brightly coloured stop-motion children have already lived through difficult things, and their gradual trust in one another gives the small care-home world emotional scale. Claude Barras makes room for jokes and everyday kindness alongside neglect, bereavement and traumatic family histories. It feels complete through the relationships that develop, without stretching the children's pain into spectacle.
