Hedgehog's Home

In a lush and lively forest lives a hedgehog. He is respected and envied by the other animals. However, Hedgehog's unwavering devotion to his home annoys a quartet of insatiable beasts. Together, they march off towards Hedgehog's home and spark a tense and prickly standoff. Exquisitely directed by Eva Cvijanovic and based on the classic story by Branko Copic, a writer from the former Yugoslavia, Hedgehog's Home is a warm and universal tale for young and old that reminds us there truly is no place like home.

Dans une forêt luxuriante et animée vit un hérisson à la fois respecté et envié des autres animaux. Mais sa dévotion indéfectible à son foyer irrite quatre bêtes insatiables. Ensemble, elles se rendent à la maison du hérisson et déclenchent un virulent affrontement. Remarquable réalisation d'Eva Cvijanovic inspirée de la célèbre histoire de Branko Copic, auteur de l'ex-Yougoslavie, La maison du hérisson est un conte chaleureux et universel qui rappelle à tous, jeunes et moins jeunes, qu'on n'est jamais mieux que chez soi.

The End of Pinky revolves around three fallen angels seeking companionship and humanity in the shadows of the red-light district, in a mythic, magically realized Montreal. The survivor of traumatic childhood experiences recounted in heartbreakingly droll fashion, Johnny is a handsome thief who finds himself drawn to the fragile beauty he sees in Mia. Both have a soft spot for Johnny's sweet and hapless best friend, Pinky, who also happens to be Johnny's partner in crime. But when one of Pinky's endearing quirks sets off a tragicomic chain of events, Johnny plots revenge with seemingly amoral, methodical detachment. As he sets out on his grim mission, Johnny's chances of ever truly connecting with anyone-including Mia, who reacts to him with a mix of hope and dread-appear unlikely. Peopled with exquisitely conceived characters living on the margins of society, this dark yet whimsical story casts a clear eye on the frailty of human relationships. The film's hand-drawn pencil and pastel animation, rendered in stereoscopic 3D, conjures a seedy world whose sepia-toned palette evokes cheap whiskey and nicotine stains. The End of Pinky is adapted from an original short story of the same name by award-winning writer Heather O'Neill, who also narrates.
