This film will be presented during the La Nuit du court event on March 22nd, 2025 at Concordia University.
This animated film explores three dramatic moments in the life of the renowned writer Marguerite Yourcenar, who endured profound losses: her mother, her dog, and her nanny. She grew up alone, with animals and nature as her main companions, and was destined to become a writer. A delicate and poetic gem, this film is also a beautiful tribute to the birth of a literary vocation.
