Ce court métrage d'animation raconte la triste histoire de l'exode d'une famille. Lorsqu’une guerre civile éclate, une fillette et sa famille sont chassées de leur maison.

Education

Ages 10 to 18
School subjects
Created using watercolour animation, this timeless tale of war and intolerance unfolds through the bewildered eyes of a young girl. It illustrates how perceived differences can be magnified and lead to conflict, and how human relationships can transcend societal expectations. This film has cross-curricular connections to social studies and language arts exploring conflict, co-operation, symbolism and metaphor. What is the significance of the red shoes? What motivates the war between neighbours? Are there warning signs of the impending conflict? Can students think of an example in their own lives where they have defied social convention in the name of friendship and co-operation? Have students write their own ending to the film.
