THROUGH THE WINDOW

What a dear short film, charmingly told through physical actions rather than words.

The story focuses on a quiet man and his daughter in their calligraphy shop in a quiet corner of Paris. The girl notices a beautiful woman who comes into the shop and has her father lights up in her presence. The girl undertakes a plan to connect them by writing messages onto paper and turning them into paper airplanes that she flies into the woman's flat from a rooftop across the street.

Such a sweet presence there is from all the characters in this film and I love how the story unfolds in silence. The relationship between the man and his daughter is calm and comforting and when she undertakes a mission to connect him with the woman you can feel its an extension of her love for him.

I give Through the Window 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!

In a quiet Parisian calligraphy shop, Robert, a soft-spoken widower, and his intuitive 11-year-old daughter, Anna, live a world of silent rituals. Their routine is stirred when Ellie, a graceful stranger, enters the shop; though no words are exchanged, her presence lingers. Noticing her father's silent spark, the young Anna decides to act. Inspired by airplanes, she begins launching handwritten messages folded into paper planes from the rooftops, hoping one will bridge the gap between them. Told without dialogue in a "Disney-esque" style of gestures and glances, this is a tender story of searching for connection.
