At the height of his fame, author and filmmaker Marcel Pagnol receives a commission to write about his childhood, his Provence, his first loves. As he begins writing the first pages, the child he once was—Little Marcel—suddenly appears, as if by magic. Together, they explore Marcel’s incredible past and bring to live his most cherished encounters and memories. Chomet’s hand-drawn animation gorgeously renders the sweep of Pagnol’s life and times, from the dawn of cinema and the pastoral to turbulent times of 20th century France, reflecting back as an adult while never losing the shining forward gaze of a child.
