Une Girafe sous la pluie

A Giraffe in the rain
Una Giraffa sotto la pioggia

All the fresh water in Djambali goes to filling Mr. Lion’s swimming pool. Fed up with this situation, a giraffe protests and is promptly banned to Mirzapolis, a northern city inhabited by dogs. In Mirzapolis, the giraffe ekes out a marginal existence, has to request asylum and eat dog food. No one will employ him. He eventually gets a job with a landscaping company but finds his asylum request is rejected. In this delicate metaphor, dramatic circumstances are handled with frank simplicity.

Il regista / The Director

Pascale Hecquet (b. 1978) studied at the Academy of Tournai, Belgium. Illustrator, graphic designer, and webdesigner, she has also worked as animator on Papillon Mamillon, a Belgian TV show for children. A Giraffe in the Rain is her first film.

“From the start, I liked the idea of a giraffe whose long neck made him out of place. The contrast between the character and his surroundings is heightened by the rainy atmosphere of the city where he seeks refuge. As the story unfolded I realized that a giraffe trying to integrate into a place so unlike his homeland could offer a good starting point for explaining to children, in a whimsical sort of way, the situation of those who adults call ‘political asylum seekers.’”
