It is cinematic masterpiece. The contrast between the pursuit of the bear and the pursuit of the kleenex says profound things about the human condition and its fraught relationship with both Nature and Capitalism. Not to mention the use of language: that of an adult trying to hold on the excitements of the past and the child's smiles and cries in the present. (How ever did you get such a skilled actress to make herself look like a little child?) The jar with the ice in the second half (a reference to polar bears and climate change?) that the child puts her hand in but resists go further is also highly symbolic in so many ways of our social and political dilemmas . My only worry it that some people might think you were just trying to show picture of a cute kid being adorable or just make something that is very, very funny. Perhaps the avoid such a wrong, reductive interpretation, you could give it a French title. C.D. Benson
