Het geheim van de meesjes (6+) (Le secret des mésanges)
Lucie, a curious ten-year-old, is spending a few vacation days in the village of Bectoile, where her mother Caroline is leading excavations in the ruins of a medieval castle. While Caroline and her cheerful colleague Pierrot dig for an ancient crypt, Lucie discovers that her mother grew up in the area, and that more than one secret is waiting to be uncovered. Guided by a pair of songbirds, and helped by her new friend Yann, Pierrot's gleeful dog, and a stubborn goose, Lucie begins her own quest for answers. A mysterious key in a nest, the remains of a destroyed mill, and even an old "wizard" in the forest—each clue brings the merry gang closer to the truth. Made entirely from paper cut-outs, The Songbird's Secret is a magical-realist fable filled with the wonders of childhood. Add a pinch of Scooby-Doo and a dash of Indiana Jones, and you have a playful family adventure about summer friendships, the thrill of archaeology, and the importance of family.
