It's almost uncanny, the similarity between Dordogne and my own connection to France. I'm hesitant to cast myself as the main character too quickly, but as I pottered through the opening hour or so of this beautiful watercolor adventure, I was struck by its authenticity, the extent to which it lives and breathes the attitudes and lifestyle of its corner of the French countryside.
Dordogne follows Mimi, a young woman with next to no recollection of her childhood. After the death of her grandmother, Mimi travels to her home in the titular French region of Dordogne, seeking answers about the rift at the center of her family's lives. As Mimi explores the house and surrounding countryside, flashbacks start to fill in the blanks, weaving a gentle story about the relationships that shape us.
