10-year-old Nina has always filled her imagination with her father’s diverting hedgehog-themed stories—but reality comes crashing down when he loses his job, and Nina’s fear about her family’s future becomes all too palpable. Fueled by rumors of a treasure hidden at the factory, Nina, her best friend Mehdi, and an enterprising hedgehog that bursts from her father’s illustrations organize a risky heist, hoping to share the riches between her father and his fellow coworkers. Directed by Academy Award-nominated French filmmakers Alain Gagnol and Jean-Loup Felicioli and featuring voice work from iconic French actors Audrey Tautou and Guillaume Canet, this charming coming-of-age film is rich with imaginative naturalistic settings and enchanting animation.
