MICHEL GONDRY | FRANCE | 2024 | 62 MIN | FRENCH
What can you create with colored paper, scissors, and a phone? If you’re Oscar-winning director Michel Gondry, the answer is a universe of bedtime stories where his daughter Maya takes center stage. Though often apart, sometimes even living in different countries, Gondry finds a way to stay close through an enchanting nightly ritual. Maya supplies the titles, and Gondry transforms them into miniature adventures, crafting cutout and sketched characters that spring to life through stop-motion magic. The film stitches together these lovingly handmade creations into a whimsical scrapbook of imagination, where father and daughter remain connected even when miles apart. Infused with the same creativity and experimental spirit that define Gondry’s career, this tender project reveals a more personal side of the artist, one in which invention and intimacy are inextricably linked. By celebrating storytelling as both play and lifeline, the film offers a joyful reminder of how love and creativity can bridge any distance.
