What's left behind the scenes

The film is based on Gilles Paris's novel "I Wanted to Kill the Sky. The Autobiography of a Zucchini" ("Autobiographie d'une Courgette”), which greatly impressed Claude Barras.
The roles of the children were voiced by non-professional actors.
60 different backgrounds and 54 puppets were created for the cartoon, each with three costumes.
According to Claude Barras, the work acquired the necessary rhythm and atmosphere due to the fact that the cartoon was created consistently, following the logic of the plot development.
According to the director, he deliberately chose a simplified animation style, as he believes that this manner of presentation will help viewers read emotions from the screen and identify with the characters.
The film is based on Gilles Paris’s novel “I Wanted to Kill the Sky. The Autobiography of Zucchini” (“Autobiographie d'une Courgette”), which deeply impressed Claude Barras.
