THE Batcombe Film Society’s film showing on Friday 17th February is the ‘low-key but spell-binding’ Petite Maman.
Following the death of her beloved grandmother, eight-year-old Nelly (Joséphine Sanz) accompanies her parents to her mother’s childhood home to begin the difficult process of cleaning out its contents.
As Nelly explores the house and nearby woods, she is immediately drawn to a neighbour her own age who’s building a hut.
What follows is an enchanting, tender tale of childhood grief, memory and connection.
Liz Hunt from the society said, “Not a long film but one that packs an emotional punch.”
Batcombe Jubilee Hall, doors open 7pm for 7.45pm screening. For further information, please contact Liz on 01749 850304
Please note all screenings will be subject to prevailing covid-19 regulations
