A new way of seeing our mothers, our daughters, and ourselves.
After eight-year-old Nelly loses her grandmother, she travels with her parents to the family home where memories linger like breath on glass. Wandering into the woods, she meets a girl her own age, Marion, whose face mirrors her own mother’s childhood photographs. What unfolds is a quietly radical conversation across time, told through the strange clarity of childhood compassion.
Dissolving the boundaries between generations, the film creates space for a mother–daughter relationship to be understood from the purest vantage: that of two children. Sciamma crafts a world where magic feels utterly natural, where grief can be shared, and where imagination becomes a tool for consolation.
In just 72 tender minutes, Petite Maman asks how we inherit sorrow, and how we might finally lay it down.
