Once upon a time, a poor woodcutter and his wife lived deep in a Polish forest. The poor woodcutter lamented not having any children. Once upon a time, a Jewish family - two newborn twins and their parents - were arrested in Paris and deported to Auschwitz. On the train taking them to their certain death, the father made a foolish gesture. In a last desperate hope, he threw one of his twins off the train. One day, as the poor woodcutter watched a train she thought was a freight train pass by, a bundle was thrown from it and fell into the snow. Like a gift from heaven, this little item turned out to be the one she'd been waiting for so fervently. A child.
This is the story told in La plus précieuse des marchandises, the new film by Michel Hazanavicius, which has just been selected in official competition at the Cannes 2024 Film Festival. This animated film marks the French director 's return to the Croisette, two years after opening the festivities with his film Coupez!
While this is the only animated feature to compete in this year's Official Selection, it is also the first animated film by Michel Hazanavicius, who is adapting Jean-Claude Grumberg 's 2019 novel of the same name for the occasion. Nothing to frighten the director ofOSS 117, who has already presented The Artist, The Search and Le Redoutable at Cannes.
