In 1955, 60-year-old Marcel Pagnol is a well-known and acclaimed playwright and filmmaker. When the editor-in-chief of ELLE magazine commissions a weekly column about Pagnol’s childhood, he sees this as a great opportunity to go back to his artistic roots: writing. Realizing his memory is failing him and deeply affected by the disappointing results of his last two plays, Pagnol starts doubting his ability to pursue his work. That is until Little Marcel – the young boy he used to be – appears to him as if by magic. Together, they explore Marcel Pagnol’s incredible past and bring back to life his most cherished encounters and memories. Master animator Sylvain Chomet’s (The Illusionist, The Triplets of Belleville, The Old Lady and the Pigeon) “stunning hand-drawn animation with its lovely Stefano Bollani musical score gives new reason to celebrate Pagnol and this magnificent life as seen by an admiring artist of a later generation paying deep homage to a master”  –Peter Hammond, Deadline.
