    Description:
    Paloma (Garance Le Guillermic) is a precocious young Parisian girl bent on ending it all on her upcoming twelfth birthday. Using her father’s old camcorder to chronicle the hypocrisy she sees in adults, Paloma begins to learn about life from the grumpy building concierge, Renée. When her camera reveals the extensive secret library in Renée’s back room, and that the often gruff matron reads Tolstoy to her cat, Paloma begins to understand that there are allies to be found beneath the prickliest of exteriors. As the unlikely friendship deepens, Paloma’s own coming of age becomes a much less pessimistic prospect. This fast-paced, touching comedy was inspired by the beloved New York Times bestseller, The Elegance of the Hedgehog, by Muriel Barbery. To purchase tickets by phone or for more information please call 901.544.6208.
