Plots(1)
An older French house becomes the main setting of crazy tangled stories of neighbours and those who became their neighbours by accident. The inhabitants seem to be dealing with the hazards of life: an ogre breaks his teeth on the very same day of the annual Ogre Feast, while being asked to watch over his neighbour’s kids; a magician cuts his assistant in half and her legs run off; a hiker and his dog spend several days stuck in the elevator; an old man falls in love with a pair of legs. This imaginative film uses elegant lexical and visual humour. Its peculiar and uncharacteristic poetics are built around a wide variety of animation techniques ranging from classic (such as 2D and 3D computer animation) to live-action footage and even pinscreen. Through layers of humorous situations, we sometimes catch glimpses of nostalgia for a lost world as well as irony and a light ridicule of contemporary France. The dramas, delights, surprises and dangers of real life are mixed with magic as if it was meant to be. (Anifilm)
