Court métrage d’animation nous transportant au cœur de l’imaginaire d’un enfant. Sous l’orage qui menace, une petite fille réfléchit, la nuit, à voix haute. Elle interroge le monde et s'interroge elle-même. Dans Nuit d'orage, Michèle Lemieux explore la pensée de l'univers, sans concession ni réponse; elle transpose avec bonheur, en mouvement et en couleurs, l'esprit de Gewitternacht, publié en 1996 et traduit en treize langues.

School subjects

Warnings: Drawing of naked people shown briefly.

The child in this animated film has all the big questions about life, death and the meaning of our existence. The film will stimulate discussion about fears, grief, the possibility of aliens and how we feel about our bodies and ourselves. Students could use these discussions to work through a drama activity or visual art piece on these topics, or write a reflective journal entry. There is also the opportunity to do research on how others have answered these questions in science, religion and philosophy.
