Avril and the fictional world

The best film at the Annecy Animation Festival, it is known as a film that will not make you want animated dolls, but will make the world a better place. In another France ruled by Napoleon V in the 20th century, scientists have been missing for 70 years. Great inventions such as flight, electricity and even movies have all come to nothing. Only Eiffel built a second iron tower. Coal and steam turned the sky into a smoky mess. People had to wear gas masks when going out on the street, and the Grand Palace turned into a large greenhouse. Alfie (played beautifully by Marian Cotillard), whose parents are scientists, also disappeared for no reason. When the old cat Darwin became seriously ill, Alfie secretly developed an elixir, which led to his escape and adventure. The sharp-tongued Darwin, the weird grandpa with many ideas, and the traitorous agent Zulia also faced difficulties. The producer of "I Grew Up in Iran" continues to work hard. The original work by French cartoonist Jacques Tardi combines the inspiration of Verne and Hayao Miyazaki to bring back the lost era of animation with a rare nostalgic animation style.
