Through My Thick Glasses

About This Movie

Through My Thick Glasses is a curious blend of animation and war storytelling, where an elderly man shares his childhood experiences from the Second World War with his granddaughter. The film has this dreamlike quality, a bit surreal, which really captures the innocence of youth amidst the horrors of conflict. The characters are quirky and memorable, each adding to this odd tapestry of memory that the little girl tries to piece together. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, almost reflective of how memories can be—fragmented and disjointed. What makes it distinctive is the way it visually represents the bizarre and often harsh realities of war through a child's perspective, leaving a lingering sense of nostalgia and mystery.
