SHORT
SYNOPSIS
Inspired by the beloved New York Times bestseller, The
Elegance of the Hedgehog, by Muriel Barbery, THE HEDGEHOG
is the timely story of Paloma (Garance Le Guillermic) a young girl
bent on ending it all on her upcoming twelfth birthday. Using her
father's old camcorder to chronicle the hypocrisy she sees in adults,
Paloma begins to learn about life from the grumpy building concierge,
Renée Michel (FRENCH TWIST’s Josiane Balasko). When Paloma's
camera reveals the extensive secret library in Renée?s back
room, and that the often gruff matron reads Tolstoy to her cat, Paloma
begins to understand that there are allies to be found beneath the
prickliest of exteriors. As the unlikely friendship deepens, Paloma's
own coming of age becomes a much less pessimistic prospect.A longer synopsis is available in our production notes |
