As every summer, Louise is entrusted to her grand-parents for a few days of vacation in the country. The green grass of the garden, the swimming in the lake, the fishing with Grandpa, everything seems as sweet as Grandma's strawberry pies. Yet this year, the snow will fall in summer and a monster will die.

je suis tellement premier degré que j'ai dû vérifier pour être sûre du sujet. Horrible, hyper poétique et beau (les scènes du papier peint uh), l'enfance et les traumas c'est un peu mes sujets prefs

A haunted and subtly moving film depicting the nostalgia and child understanding of trauma
(My intermediate french came in handy as there were no English subtitles)

I really like this short film. I lost my grandpa in 2020 and it really made me reflect on the time I had with my grandpa before he passed. I love you and miss you Papaw.
