Intro and Q&A with film critic and journalist Camille Brunel.

Made of papier-mâché, the delicate puppets come to life in stop-motion, in beautiful, colorful settings, to tell young and old about the life of the flora and fauna of our countryside and raise awareness about nature preservation and the balance of ecosystems.

A work in which puppets, sculptures, paintings, and animation reinterpret nature, allowing us to rediscover it as we’ve never seen it before!
