Vanille

Six children's short films directed by Guillaume Lorin, Tatiana Kiseleva, Julie Daravan Chea, Ursula Ulmi, Magali Dunyach and Chien-Ju Hung, and Jaida Salmon.

The first, "Vanilla" (France), is 29 minutes long and tells the story of a girl from Paris who goes to spend her vacation with her aunt on the island of Guadeloupe. There, she uncovers the island's mysteries in an adventure filled with magical elements.

From Russia, "My Friend the Tiger" (7 minutes) is a dialogue-free story about the friendship between a girl and her tiger who ride a bicycle around the city. Despite having fun and doing things all day, the city isn't big enough for a tiger.

"Each Day You Speak Better" (France, 4 minutes) introduces us to Aline and her mother Chanda, who are from Cambodia and live together in a French suburb. Aline is embarrassed by her mother's poor French and faces the challenge of an upcoming parent-teacher meeting at school.

"Idodo" (Switzerland, 10 minutes) is the underwater legend of how reef fish got their dazzling colors.

"Blue Curry" (France, 6 minutes) is a life lesson: nothing is better than cooking a curry dish with mom.

Finally, "Wash Day" (Canada, 2 minutes) is the odyssey of Zoey, a young black girl, as she washes, combs, and manages her hair.
