The UK Premiere of Antoine Lanciaux’s (Poppety in the Fall, Neige) new feature-length animated adventure mystery will delight audiences young and old.
When 9-year-old Lucie arrives at Bectoile for the holidays, she has no idea of the adventures ahead. Her mother, Caroline, is leading an archaeological dig in the region with her colleague Pierrot. Bectoile is also the town where Caroline grew up, and the scene of a family secret… which Lucie is about to unveil!
With the help of a new friend and a very special pair of songbirds, Lucie is determined to delve into her family story. From the underground of a ruined castle to a camper van parked on the edge of the woods, this adventure will lead them from unusual surprises to fabulous discoveries!
The Cinemagic Festival is funded by the Department for Communities through Northern Ireland Screen, and funded by Belfast City Council
