Subtitled Tuesday: 'My Life as a Zucchini'
On 7 March our regular screening program 'Subtitled Tuesday' (with English subtitles included) will present the animated film 'My Life as a Zucchini' directed by Claude Barras. Screening starts at 6 pm.
This is not a story about vegetables. The hero of this animated adventure is a courageous little boy called Zucchini. When he loses his mother due to tragic circumstances, young Zucchini is left all alone. Friendly police officer Raymond brings him to a home for children who have also lost their parents. Although initially intimidated by the unusual, sometimes harsh place, the boy gradually opens up and finds there a new family and true love. 'My Life as a Zucchini' won the Audience Award and Best Feature Film in Annecy. Screenwriter Céline Sciamma, best known for her trilogy about growing up – Water Lilies, Tomboy, and Girlhood – has certainly greatly contributed to its success.
