If you've not seen this film, I highly recommend it. While it is about cycling and the Tour de France, in the end it is about a child and his grandmother, their bonds, and what they will go through for each other. It is in French without subtitles, but there is so little dialogue that it does not take away from the story. If you like the films of Japanese animator Hayao Miyazak (of Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle), you'll really like this film.

I plan on taking the kids in the bike trailer. I hope to see you there.
