Les yeux noirs

Ce court métrage de fiction pour enfants est l’adaptation animée d’un roman primé écrit par l’auteur québécois Gilles Tibo. Avec beaucoup d’inventivité, il raconte l’histoire du jeune Mathieu, qui n’a jamais peur du noir parce qu’il y vit toujours, et se plaît à jouer au détective lorsque vient le jour de son anniversaire.
