Louise by the Shore (2016)

On the last day of summer at a seaside resort, the elderly Louise misses her train to return home. Making the best of a bad situation, she builds a shack on the beach and lives there with her new-found dog companion until the next summer’s guests begin to arrive. I’m not sure how this got on my radar nor whether in the end if it was worth my time. It’s a gentle, attractively rendered piece of animation that offers plenty of reflection on a life lived and where our choices lead us, but it also has includes too many necessary suspensions of belief to ignore.
