 Synopsis :  

Craquements dans la montagne. La veuve Caillou casse du bois, et il ne lui reste que ça. A moins qu'elle n'aille rejoindre ceux qui dorment au fond de sa mémoire...

Mountains resound with bird cries as a strong wind blows through the gorges. The widow Caillou is climbing up to a house where she lives all by herself. She chops up several logs to keep her company. She has lost everything else. She puts one log into a child’s bed and immerses herself in memories...

AniFest Grand Prix
"Argument: A beautiful, poetic, moving visualization of the author’s very personal tale."

Top five female animators at MIAF :
"Simple yet deeply moving animation is Agnes Patron’s speciality, and viewers will be in for a treat with the atmospheric Widow Caillou (La Veuve Caillou), a darkly etched style of animation complimented by an understated piano soundtrack by Pierre Oberkampf. Produced by École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, the film tells the story of a widow splitting a few logs – all she has left."

Premio Internazionale SImona Gesmundo Corti d'Animazione : "Great correspondence between theme and technique, with strong dramatic notes and expressive maturity. "
