The Acacia Garden

Content : “Mum, I’m bored.”

That is Max’s problem. He will soon be starting secondary school, and his Wednesdays need a new plan: rather than spending them in front of screens or at the after-school club, he will now be going to Grandpa Jean’s house. But in the big old house filled with memories, time seems to stand still. With no toys or screens, Max will have to use his imagination.

Alongside this lonely grandfather, whose days revolve around his garden, he may slowly discover a new way of looking at the world. And there are secrets too, hidden behind those smiles...

What if, in the end, it was Max who came to help Grandpa Jean?

A deeply moving intergenerational story and a true gem of emotion.
