Dir.: Adam Elliot | 94 minutes

Australia 2024 | 94 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

Grace tells her pet snail the story of her life: her father, a loner who became an alcoholic; how she and her brother cared for him until his death; their subsequent separation; and the bond they maintained through letters. Life took them to different places and into encounters with all sorts of unusual people. Australian animator Adam Elliott creates his films in stop-motion and sculpts his characters from plasticine. But this film is not intended for children. It’s a delicate and unique kind of autobiography, marked by impressive attention not only to the design of characters and spaces but also to the emotional depth of the characters themselves—both major and minor.
