Following the death of her beloved grandmother, 8-year-old Nelly (Josephine Sanz) accompanies her parents to her mother’s childhood home to begin the difficult process of cleaning out its contents. As Nelly explores the house and nearby woods, she is immediately drawn to a neighbor her own age building a treehouse. What follows is a tender tale of childhood grief, memory and connection.

“Whether it’s best described as a modern-dress fairy tale, a psychological ghost story or a low-tech time travel fantasy is up to you” (The New York Times), but PETITE MAMAN is sure to delight the young and those just “young at heart.”
