Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids and anyone who likes stories from the past brought to life, this one's for you. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. Liked Mr. Turner? This is a good next one.
The mood
Intense, feel-good.
The pace
Lively and easy to follow, at 9 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A young woman goes back to her province in the countryside where she gets to once again meet her Grandmother Loleng - a distant relative and a senile parol (Christmas lantern) artisan. Together, they will explore Grandma Loleng’s landscape of memories, only to unearth her innermost secrets and wartime experiences. It is about memory and forgetting, both in the context of the personal and of the national consciousness.
