This animated French film tells the story of an elderly woman named Madame Souza who takes care of her orphaned grandson Champion, a professional cyclist, who’s unexpectedly kidnapped while competing in the Tour de France. With the help of The Triplets of Belleville, an elderly trio of singers, and her faithful dog, Souza ventures out to find him. The distinctive animation style and catchy tunes add to the film’s enchanting atmosphere.
