♦ My Father’s Secrets **

by Vera Belmont

Franco-Belgian animated film, 1 h 14 (from 10 years old)

Free adaptation of a comic strip on the silence of a Holocaust survivor, this animated film looks at the question of the transmission of a long hidden memory. Even if its staging and its animation remain a little too academic, the film carries a very strong emotional charge by confronting the carelessness of childhood with this hidden memory.
