If asked to explain the values conveyed by Molly and Léon, children will know the answers. Love, fraternity and the desire for justice are emotions that can serve to spark discussion. Children can be asked to imagine, in drawings, the rest of the two characters’ story. The film can serve to show students the beauty of images, and get them to appreciate the concept of long, painstaking work.
