In this spellbinding voyage between the real and the imaginary, 10-year-old Grace uses her creative superpowers to navigate the emotional landscape of her mother’s depression. Writer/filmmaker Wanda Nolan collaborates with animator Claire Blanchet to weave together a visually rich and moving story. Images of nature (forests, water, animals) abound, serving to allegorize the obstacles faced by people dealing with mental illness and the loved ones who stand by their side. Ultimately an inspiring portrait of family, adversity, and resilience, Mystery of the Secret Room celebrates the transformative powers of literature and the imagination.
