THE TIME OF STORMS
A children's film by Gabrielle Gingras
Synopsis
Gabrielle, an imaginative but fearful child, spends the summer at the cottage with her family. While her brother and sisters enjoy the last swims of the summer, the youngest shuts herself away indoors, accompanied by her dog and her many toys, too fearful of the sun and storms. Despite herself, Gabrielle will find herself exposed to the elements. Under the watchful eye of her family, the young child will gradually find the courage to face her fears.
