Bêtes de famille

Details

Le court métrage d’animation Bêtes de famille met en scène une relation mère-fille névrotique inspirée à la cinéaste par l’éducation peu orthodoxe qu’elle a reçue de sa mère, chef de famille monoparentale, également parent d’accueil et éleveuse de chiens. Porté par une énergie débordante et rempli d’autodérision, le film rappelle que, bien qu’adultes (ou en voie de le devenir), nous avons toujours besoin de l’amour et du soutien d’un parent.
