À travers mes grosses lunettes

2003 12 min
Leaving soon

Court métrage d’animation de marionnettes réunissant un grand-père et sa petite-fille à qui il raconte ses souvenirs de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Une aventure pleine de personnages étranges qui échappe à la compréhension du monde de la fillette. Le cinéaste Pjotr Sapegin a su transformer un récit inspiré d'un fait réel en une fable burlesque qu’il dédie à sa mère.

History - World War II
In language class, this animated short offers several interesting perspectives related to the narration and the story: How is the tragic content lightened by the narrative tone? What means does the filmmaker use to immerse viewers in a child’s world? What historical facts do we learn through this story? It can also be interesting to have a debate on the question of whistle-blowing: How do you interpret the action taken by the mother of the narrator’s friend? Is it justified?
