AUS 2024 | Director: Adam Elliot | 95 min. | FSK 12
Animated film

Enthusiastic snail collector and romance novel reader Grace Pudel looks back on a life that has not always been kind to her. After the death of their mother, Grace and her twin brother Gilbert grow up with their paraplegic, alcoholic father. When he also dies unexpectedly, the siblings are separated from each other and placed in different foster families. While Gilbert is exposed to the cruelties of a fanatically religious family on the other side of Australia, Grace withdraws more and more into herself - just like her beloved snails. It is only through her friendship with Pinky, an eccentric older lady full of joie de vivre, that she regains hope and realizes how beautiful life can be despite all its hardships.

Following his acclaimed debut "Mary & Max - or: Do sheep shrink when it rains?", Australian director and Oscar®-winner Adam Elliot has once again created a bittersweet masterpiece full of endearingly quirky characters, produced using an elaborate stop-motion technique. In his new clay animation film for adults, Elliot tells a sensitive, melancholy and sometimes gloomy, but also hopeful and humorous story about the ups and downs of life.
