Synopsis

Oscar winner Michel Gondry returns to animation with an original film created as a kind of game and father-daughter dialogue. In addition to directing, he also animated the film using an analogue technique: paper cutouts moved frame by frame. A specialist in metanarratives that broach human relationships from the intersection of reality and fiction, in this film he tells the story of Maya and her father. Despite being separated by distance, they’re able to maintain their connection through means as cinematographic as they are unusual. Each month, he tells his daughter, ‘Maya, give me a title,’ from which he’ll create an animated film with her at its centre. Winner of the Crystal Bear for the Best Film in the Generation Kplus section at the Berlinale.
