2024/France—directed by Chiara Malta and Sébastien Laudenbach | 73 min.

Paulette feels guilty after punishing her daughter Linda, and would do anything to make it up to her. Linda demands her mother make chicken with peppers, which reminds her of the dish her father used to cook. But with a strike closing stores across town and people crowding the streets, Linda's request leads to an outrageous series of events that spiral comically out of control, as Paulette goes to all lengths to keep her promise.

Directors Malta and Laudenbach unleash a unique visual marvel of hand-painted animation and a story that blends slapstick comedy, music, and family drama, as Paulette and Linda ultimately confront the grief of a tragedy, and the meal that could bring them closer together.

In French with English subtitles. For all ages!
