Indebted to Hayao Miyazaki's work, “April in France” is a documentary about April, a 5-year-old English girl, who is unhappy with her family’s relocation to France. She moves to a small medieval village in southwest France where her great-grandfather lived. There, she is convinced that he is only sleeping in the cemetery and that he will come back from the dead to be with her. While waiting for him she meets his former friends, and with them she will discover her inner self while in turn transforming their lives forever.
