Hushpuppy lives with her daddy in “the Bathtub”, a small bayou community in the Mississippi Delta isolated from the world. When a hurricane hits and the waters rise, everything south of the levee is flooding… Told entirely from the perspective of the six-year-old heroine, this poetic post-Katrina fairy tale of survival has become one of the festival revelations of the past year. The 2003-born Quvenzhané Wallis became the youngest person ever to have received a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her role in Beasts of the Southern Wild. (English spoken)
