More than anything, 8-year-old Jeanne wants to spend Christmas with mum, but for some reason unknown to her, that can’t happen and she must go to her grandmother’s. Nevertheless, the time spent at grandmother’s becomes an adventure filled with new friendships and the ability to listen to others. Jeanne meets new friends – Cloclo, who lives in the forest, and local kids Sonia and Leon. As Jeanne discovers new things about the world, she doesn’t realise that her newfound joy will also be her mum’s strongest support.
