Event Description: Alliance Française de Delhi Cine-Club presents ' La Plus précieuse des marchandises (The Most Precious of Cargoes)'. 

Synopsis: As part of Animation Movie Month, Alliance Française de Delhi invites you to an exceptional screening of La Plus précieuse des marchandises — a poignant animated tale by Oscar-winning director Michel Hazanavicius.

Set during World War II, the film follows a poor woodcutter’s wife who discovers a baby thrown from a train bound for a concentration camp. Against all odds, she chooses to protect the child — nurturing a fragile spark of hope and humanity amid the darkest times.

This moving allegory about love, survival, and compassion reminds us that even in the bleakest moments, kindness can change destinies.

Join us as we celebrate the art of animation — where imagination brings powerful human stories to life.
