Mimi

Romy's budgie Mimi has disappeared. Full of determination, she runs into the woods on the outskirts of town to find her bird again. Her mother has already bought a new one which Romy called “Nothing” out of anger and which only seems useful to lure Mimi into the cage. But Mimi doesn’t show up. Underway in the outdoors, however, Romy makes exciting discoveries and meets people full of mysteries. With the curious, critical gaze of a seven-year-old, Mira Fornay’s film enters a world between forests and rivers, where reality and fantasy merge. Romy is not the only one who seems to be looking for something that she has lost. A day passes, at the end of which wishes are sent into the universe. (Berlinale)
