Synopsis

Anatole is always dragging around his little saucepan. It fell on him one day and nobody really knows why. Since then, it gets stuck everywhere and it keeps him from going forward. One day Anatole can’t bear it anymore. He decides to hide so that he won’t see or be seen anymore. But, fortunately, things aren’t so simple. An adaptation of an Isabelle Carrier’s picture book.
