This film tells the story of a young boy, Ika (nicknamed "Zucchini"), who was born in a single-parent family. An accident caused him to indirectly lead to the death of alcoholism and sexual violence against his mother, so he was sent to the Fontaine Children's Welfare Institute by Sheriff Raymond. , In a new place, I met a partner who has no loved ones like me. Here they love each other like a family, facing setbacks together, helping each other, and growing up together.

The seven little ones take a group photo in front of each other

I don’t know if everyone feels that this clay animation has a similar plot to another French film " Les choristes " (hereinafter referred to as "herding cows"). Both express love in their central ideas. Pay attention to the disadvantaged groups, the characters that play a key role in the plot are also men, and the endings are all relatively happy endings.

Some similarities

But the difference is that perhaps because of the limitation of the audience, the content expressed by the animation can not be too deep. For minors, it can stop at the click, and for adults, they can make their own brains. So my mind is just for entertainment, don’t spray if you don’t like it. In the barrage, some netizens said that it is better to change the name to "Simon's Story". That seems to be correct. Then the plot is:

A red-haired boy named Simon was sent to a children's orphanage because his parents took drugs.

All of you have cat disease

One day, his unremarkable life changed with the addition of Lan Maozi Zucchini. If they didn't know each other, Simon and Zucchini worshipped the hand and took him to know the sisters and brothers in the courtyard.

Brothers with passion, lemon fruit on the lemon tree, you and me under the lemon tree.

After being happy for a few days, the days soon faded away. This plain life has a new taste because of the addition of a girl, mainly because the brother Zucchini and the girl Camille fell in love at first sight. Just do it, Simon earnestly became a light bulb, and frantically added drama to himself, for fear that the boy would become the second boy.

The zucchini stunned can't believe that spring is here so early.

The ginger is still old and spicy, and Uncle Lei Meng can see that the girl is a little hot pepper. After the sister came, the status of Simon's overlord was shaken. What can be done? After all, it is a brother's woman. If a good man does not fight with a woman, I will bear it!

Obviously the brother and his woman have already begun to accept people, but everyone has nothing to do with the sister.

One night Huang Maozi Zaozi didn't sleep, so he asked Simon to drive...

The two discussed with gusto, the simple zucchini caused lovesickness and couldn't sleep.

Zucchini wanted to know the story behind the girl, and the quilt of Simon Simon was lifted to reveal his ability to walk the rivers and lakes for many years-peeking at the archives.

Simon coquettishly moves and finds the secret of Kami's: his mother cheated, his father killed his mother and committed suicide. The girl witnessed the whole process, so she could remain optimistic and cheerful and courageous.

One day, the yard organized a winter ski tour. Everyone exposed the nature of the old driver as soon as they boarded the small yellow car. The black-haired boy Ahmad drove without saying a word. Here, the zucchini is still different and dirty, staring at the girl’s beautiful face and wanting to hold someone else’s hand...

The girl is also very cooperative and stretched out~

Simon, who feels left out, thinks this is the best moment to steal the spotlight. It was too late and then soon, Simon once again (the first time in a fight) took out the wine jar symbolizing Zucchini's mother, and the zucchini became excited by the chaos. On the other side, the girl also responded positively and took back the wine can. The two looked at each other sweetly, almost melting the whole winter...

If the pull ring of the can is still there, it can become a love ring~

Everyone had a lot of fun in the ski resort, making snowmen, skiing, karaoke, and snowball fights. Many people are fun.

Happiness is short-lived, and life always frustrates people from time to time.

Simon received the mother's letter, but he did not open it. Hei Zai opened it for him. There was no letter from his mother that he was expecting in it. There was only an mp3.

It can be seen that there is not much communication between parents and Simon, and the love they give is not right. The softest aspect of strong children is lack of love.

It's time for the plot to be a bit of a wave here, the three little ones overheard Camille's vicious auntie's conspiracy, and it's time to show their ingenuity!

Look at this vicious stepmother's standard equipment: huge contrast eyeshadow, big moles, lace and platform high heels, nausea that even children can recognize

It turned out that Aunt Camille worked hard to adopt her niece to get the huge inheritance of Camille's parents. At this time, the boys began to plot a rescue plan, and Simon put a big move as soon as he came up...

The witty Simon, the mp3 was hidden in the paper boat of Zucchini Songcamier’s letter of love. The vicious aunt had to pretend to convey the object kindly due to the secret observation of Teacher Rosie, and the mp3 also played a lore in the whole plan. The effect of reversal!

Simon left a message in the mp3 to tell Camille to record the vicious aunt's words as evidence for presentation to the judge at a critical time. In this way, the aunt's tricks were put through and Camille was safe. However, Police Officer Raymond proposed to the judge to provide a host family for Zucchini and Camille. As long as they nod their heads, they can move away immediately. Good friend Simon quietly witnessed it...

At the dinner where everyone celebrated Camille's return, Simon Big Bulb felt more and more sad, and finally couldn't help telling the truth. He returned to the room angrily and listened to loud music.

The boss is the boss, the boss is happy, everyone can be happy, the boss is sad, and everyone has a hard time. Zucchini went to Simon and told him that he would not leave. Simon refused. He knew very well how important a good host family is to every child. He didn't know what would happen to him in the future. He wasn't jealous of them, but just reluctant to get along with them. Establish a deep friendship.

He can be sad, but he will never disturb others, let alone hinder anyone's happiness, he is Simon.

At last it was the time of parting, watching Camille and Zucchini get in Officer Raymond’s car and leave. Everyone stood there for a long time, and the air seemed to stop. Simon made a joke and walked away from his friends. He would only leave the sadness to himself forever, and put a smile on the mood table. Everything is back to the original appearance, the difference is that in this yard, the shadows of Camille and zucchini are left everywhere, full of love and joy.

Regardless of the ends of the world, he will care about them for the rest of his life.

End.

    Animation, especially stop-motion animation, is a form full of old-fashioned innocence and texture, which is actually more suitable for sorrow and loneliness than to add to the joy on the cake. The biggest advantage of French animation is the fit of picture, technology and story. Pay attention to fine art and details. Red nose, dark circles and winter sun. The subtitles and ending song are well matched!
