FILM D'ANIMATION

Mon père est un enfant allemand de dix ans lorsqu’il arrive en France avec sa mère, en juin 1945. Il laisse derrière lui un père, une enfance. Désormais, il taira son accent, oubliera son père, disparu en Allemagne, et cachera sa nationalité. Toute sa vie, il vivra avec la hantise que l’on découvre son origine. Je savais que mon père était d’origine allemande mais je ne connaissais pas toute son histoire... Il y a quelques années, il m’a confié son cahier de souvenirs. Aujourd’hui, à partir de son parcours, d’archives et de séquences d’animation, je m’approprie son histoire.

ANIMATION FILM

My father was a ten-year-old German child when he arrived in France with his mother in June 1945. He had left behind a father, his childhood. From that moment on, he silenced his accent, forgot his father who had disappeared in Germany and hid his nationality. All his life, he lived with the anxiety that someone would discover his origin... A few years ago he entrusted me with his notebook of memories. Today, working from the path of his life, archives and animated sequences, I appropriate for myself his history.
