GFF My Life As a Courgette (Ma Vie de Courgette)

Courgette is the nickname of 10 year-old Icare. When his alcoholic mother dies, he is sent to an orphanage where he instantly becomes a target for bullies. The arrival of the cool, mysterious Camille changes everything. Based on a book by Gilles Paris and adapted by Céline Sciama (Tomboy, Girlhood), Switzerland’s Oscar contender is a stop-motion animation gem that evokes the worlds of Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman. A melancholy journey through childhood tragedy towards a brighter future, mature enough for both adults and children alike to appreciate.
