Turning up on many a film critic's Top 10 for 2021, French director Céline Sciamma (Portrait Of A Lady) tackles grief with heartbreaking tenderness in Petite Maman (France/PG/72mins).

The plot has 8-year-old Nelly struggling to overcome the loss of her grandmother when, helping clean out her mum's childhood home, she meets a girl her own age building a tree house in the nearby woods. Just how close the girls become reflects something deeper than mere friendship though...

Part of the Greystones Film Club's re-emergence after over a year of hibernation by re-embracing the new, Petite Maman follows March's much-loved Scottish comedy Limbo. Just be sure to bring a hanky. And a friend to lean on.
