The Albatross Foundation is pleased to showcase the short film *Tell Me Where I Come<\/em> From*, written by Caroline Grenetier, an Albatross sponsor member; produced by Nos Passerelles, a partner of the Foundation; and directed by C\u00e9sar Award-winning director \u00c9ric Guirado, with young Emma Puig in the lead role. <\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

A universal story about identity and family ties<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n

Louise has known for a long time that she was adopted. Out of love for her parents, she chose to remain silent. Years later, in therapy, she is trying to reconcile her deep need to learn about her origins with the guilt she feels at betraying the woman who raised her. <\/p>\n\n

Through Emma Puig\u2019s performance<\/strong>, this intimate story explores identity, a sense of belonging, family secrets, the importance of listening in the process of self-discovery, and the journey toward a possible reconciliation with oneself. <\/p>\n\n

Excerpt from the short film currently being screened in festival selections. <\/p>\n\n

Caroline Grenetier: A Deeply Humanistic Cinema<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

A socially conscious writer and filmmaker, Caroline Grenetier has for many years placed humanity, memory, solidarity, and resilience at the heart of her work. <\/p>\n\n

Her documentary *Le Silence des Justes*<\/em>(The Silence of the Righteous<\/em>), dedicated to the residents of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon who saved hundreds of Jews, features, among others, neuropsychiatrist Boris Cyrulnik<\/strong>, a leading figure in the field of resilience. <\/p>\n\n

With *Nos Passerelles*<\/strong>, she continues this mission: to make film a tool for sharing, connection, and understanding others. <\/p>\n\n
