Charming Trailer For Director Céline Sciamma's French Fairytale PETITE MAMAN

A trailer and poster have been released for the French fairytale film Petite Maman, from writer and director Céline Sciamma (Girlhood, Portrait of a Lady on Fire). The film stars Joséphine Sanz and Gabrielle Sanz, along with Nina Meurisse, Stéphane Varupenne, and Margot Abascal. The small cast filmed the 72-minute movie during the pandemic with a limited crew. The film first premiered at the 2021 Berlin Film Festival last year, and played at the New York Film Festival, among others.

Here’s the film’s synopsis:

"8-year-old Nelly has just lost her beloved grandmother and is helping her parents clean out her mother’s childhood home. She explores the house and the surrounding woods where her mum, Marion, used to play and where she built the treehouse Nelly has heard so much about. One day her mother suddenly leaves. That's when Nelly meets a girl of her own age in the woods, building a treehouse. Her name is Marion… Once again, Sciamma examines the big questions in life from a resolutely female perspective. The power of memory and imagination are explored in a unique, emotionally resonant experience."

This looks like a very sweet story, and it has been getting great reviews. Check out the trailer and poster below, and watch Petite Maman in select US theaters starting April 22nd, 2022.
