This animated short is an ode to Louise, a fiercely independent 96-year old inspired by animator Anita Lebeau's grandmother. Speaking in her own voice, Louise takes us through a day in her busy life near the town of Bruxelles, in rural Manitoba. Between coping with garden gophers and reaching cupboards that have grown taller, Louise's plans sometimes miscarry, her sense of humour is foolproof.
Meet Annie, a woman who, despite being caught up in the circus of everyday life, finds her balance. Using live-action footage and traditional animation, filmmaker Anita Lebeau takes us on a whirlwind tour through Annie’s busy world and shows us the power that lies in the small choices we make every day.

In this short, animated film that explores the mysterious nature of dream, a woman and her sidekick cat find themselves moving from one strange room to another in pursuit of an elusive floating pushpin. On this journey between dreaming and wakefulness, the characters meet with the unexpected, the absurd and the oddly familiar, in imaginative mixed-media spaces created by eight contributing visual artists.
