Australian Premiere

When nine-year-old Lucie arrives at Bectoile for the holidays she has no idea of the adventures ahead. Featuring 2,000 puppets and 850 shots, this handmade gem is a tender and visually stunning delight.

Lucie’s mother, Caroline, is leading an archaeological dig in the region with her colleague Pierrot. Bectoile is also the town where Caroline grew up, and the scene of a family secret ... which Lucie is about to unveil!

With the help of her new friend Yann and a very special pair of songbirds, Lucie is determined to delve into her family story. From the underground of a ruined castle to a camper van parked on the edge of the woods, this adventure will lead them from unusual surprises to fabulous discoveries!
 
Created entirely from cut-paper animation, The Songbirds' Secret stands as a poetic masterpiece in animated cinema and a delight for all the family.
