A word from Tënk
The family is a beacon of solidarity: with parents who scold us as children, with distant relatives who don't share our values, with strangers who threaten the well-being of our loved ones. Family members can also take care of each other when tragedy strikes, or when life takes a turn for the worse. 47 pouces presents the complicity of Zélie and her aunt, who arrives at her brother's house wrapped in melancholy. The little girl tries her best to make her aunt smile, with her childlike gestures. A sensitive portrait of a person with mental health problems and her caring niece who wants to make a difference.
